WARSAW — A landmark meet-
ing Wednesday between Poland's
Communist leadership and t
Walesa, the Solidarity trade union
chairman, ended with a tentative
move toward cooperation.

The authorities agreed to discuss
the legalization of the onion, and
Mr. Walesa called for an end to a
wave of strikes.

Three hours of talks were held
involving Mr. Walesa, two senior
Communist officials, and a repre-
sentative of the powerful Roman
Catholic Church hierarchy.

Afterward, church and Solidari-
ty officials said pro g ress had been
made toward a “roundtable” of ne-
gotiations that would consider
trade union reforms, broadening of
freedom of association, and forma-
tion of a “national patriotic coun-
cil.”

Implicit in the offer of dialogue

ciech JaruzdskL, church and party
officials said, was agreement to
consider formulas for the re-estab-
lishment of the East bloc's Cm free
trade unions, though not in the
same form in which they existed in
1980-81.

“Solidarity has to be the subject
of very patient negotiations that
w31 take a certain time," Andrzej
Stdmachowslri, a Catholic intellec-
tual who helped arrange the meet-
ing, said after the session. “We are
at (he beginning of a negotiation
the result of which is impossible to
foresee.”

Mr. Walesa, who has led a strike
at the T-gnin shipyard in Gdansk

for the last 10 days, issued a state-
ment to striking workers around
the country saying that he had
agreed to further talks with the au-
thorities and urging a quick end to

“The participants in the discus-
sions accepted that all matters re-
lated to the trade union movement
would be discussed by the roundta-
ble,” the statement said. “Sessions
of the roundtable will take up the
broad topic of cooperation in eco-
nomic, sodal and political reforms
for the good of the country.”

There was no report by late in
the evening of an aid to strikes
continuing in the Gdansk ship-
yards and port, the port of Szcze-
cin, or at a coal mine and steel mill
in southern Poland. But workers
leading the protests have already
recognized Mr. Walesa’s authority
and delegated him to conduct ne-
gotiations on their behalf.

The conciliatory move by the
union leader followed the first for-
mal discussions he has held with
the government since General Jaro-
zdski declared martial law to sup-
press the union in December 1981.

Mr. Walesa was received at a
handsome government mansion in
southern Warsaw by the interior
minister. General Czeslaw Kiszc-
zak and the central committee sec-
retary, Stanislaw Ciosek, on the
eighth anniversary of the day in
which he signed the historic agree-
ment creating Solidarity.

The 44-year-old Nobd Peace
Prize winner was also accompanied
by Bishop Jerzy Dabrowdri, a rep-
resentative of the Catholic church

JOHANNESBURG — A pow-
erful bomb wrecked a six-story of-
fice budding in central Jo hannes -
burg on Wednesday that serves as
the headquarters far several lead-
ing anti-apartheid groups.

Twenty-three people were in-
jured or treated for shock after the
blast ripped through the building,
tearing off pan rails facade and
collapsing the main lobby into the
baseman.

The budding, known as Khotso
House, was headquarters for the
South African Council of
Church e s, one of the few major
anti-apartheid groups that has not
been banned by the government.

Among the groups using the
building was a religions council
that has been enmeshed in a
church-state confrontation with
the South African government

mixed neighborhood and for years
has been a symbol of defiance of
the minority white government in

In the past year there have been a
series of unsolved bombings and
arson attacks on offices^ ra anti-
apartheid groups and militan t

black labor unions. Sane anti-
apartheid activists have suggested
the attacks were carried out by
rightist vigilantes, either within or
outside of the security forces, bat
reposition leaders have not specifi-
cally accused the police security
branch of complicity.

The Khotso House blast bore
similarities to an explosion last
year that destroyed the central
headquarters of the Congress of
South African Trade Unions, the
conpaVs largest black labor feder-
ation. Police have made no arr ests
in connection with that explosion.

As in that bombing, explosives
appeared to have beenplaced in the
basement of Khotso Hoase in such
a position that they would weaken
the structure of the building and
force its closure for safety reasons.

In addition to the offices of the
Council of Churches, Khotso
House has offices of the Blade

Sash, a women’s anti-apartheid
group; the Transvaal Rural Action
Committee, and several church or-

ished^biacks visited the Blac^Sash
office each day to consult with vol-
unteers about problems confronted
because of apartheid.

The United Democratic From, a
coalition of 700 anti-apartheid
groups, and the Detainees* Parents
Support Committee also main -
tained headquarters in the building
until they were banned earlier tins
year.

In recent months, several other
black union headquarters through-
out the country have been dnmng^
in bombings or anon attacks.

A police spokesman said that the

possibility of a link between the
bombing of the South African
Trade Unions headquarters and
Wednesday's blast would be inves-
tigated.

And while Ms. Griffiths has his name on

her office wall, she has never visited die
manorial from which it comes. This seem-
ing ambivalence runs through nearly every
discussion of the issue, one of the most
emotionally charged legacies of a war m
which more than 58JXB Americans died.

In the last year, the Americans and Viet-
namese have made someprogress in resolv-
ing that legacy erf the missing, recently
agreeing to joint search and excavation
efforts on Vietnamese sofl. Bnt then a firm
restatement of a dministra tion policy on
Vietnam’s lamer aspirations to emnnimn

to suspend that agreement suddenly in ear-
ly August — a suspension that was re-
versed Tuesday when the Vietnamese
agreed to resume work on jam investiga-
tions in Vietnam.

In a Small Town in Germany, Anonymity for a Spy Suspect

WORLD BRIEFS

By Serge Schmemann
New York Tima Senior

BOSENHEIM. West Germany — If Clyde Lee
Conrad, the retired U.S. Array sergeant accused of
heading a major spying ring, bad needed anonymity
but did not like to commute long distances, be could
hardly have picked a better spot than Bosenheim.

A hillside cluster of impeccable houses and cobbled
streets set among rolling Nahe Valley vineyards, the
pretty village has about 6.000 reasonably prosperous
burghers and 35 independent vintners. Americans are
not a rarity; several GIs from bases in Bad Kreuznach,
a couple of miles away, rent apartments in Bosenheim.

The village, in fact, is formally pan of Bad Kreuz-
nach. a gray city 64 kilometers (40 miles) southwest of
Frankfurt where the U.S. Army’s 8 th Infantry Divi-
sion has its headquarters and several other barracks
and installations. It was there that Mr. Conrad served
two tours of his 31-year Array service, 1974-79 and
from 1980 to retirement in 1985.

Mr. Conrad. 42, a native of Sebring, Ohio, was
arrested last week bv the West German authorities on

suspicion of being part of an espionage ring that
channeled American military plans to the Soviet
Union through Hungarian agents.

The spokesman for the Public Prosecutor's office in
Karlsruhe, West Germany, Alexander Preehusl. said
Mr. Conrad was currently in a jail in Bonn, but was
refusing to testify.

Mr. Precbtd said that under West German law Mr.
Conrad could be charged with espionage, serious espi-
onage or treason, depending on the documents he
passed. The fust charge carries a maximum penalty of
five years in prison, the second a minim um of one year
to a maximum of 10 years. Treason can draw' life
imprisonment.

Like many garrison towns in this comer of West
Germany — the country has more than 200 American
bases and is home to about 250,000 American soldiers
— Bad Kreuznach has a distinct GI presence.

Pizzerias and English-language video rental shops
abound. Car dealerships sport American flags and
advertise duty-free exports. And clusters of American
soldiers strolling in camouflage fatigues or tooling
past in souped-up Camaros are a common sight.

It is popular duty, and on retirement after 20 years
of service, some soldiere choose to stay on, especially if
they have married a German woman, and to take one
of the man y jobs on militar y bases open to American
civilians.

The countryside is pretty and the living not too
expensive, and Americans are generally welcome.

To his neighbors, therefore, Mr. Conrad was not out
of the ordinary.

He was a reared soldier who had married a German

some-

a

race, two-story nouse on the edge oi town, across from
the municipal swi mmin g pool and within site of the
vineyards.

Nobody answered the door Tuesday, though neigh-
bors said Mr. Conrad* s wife. Antje. has returned home
once the apartment was searched and she was ques-
tioned by the police last week.

The apartment was said to be comfortable, but
hardly extravagant. Neighbors said it probably rented
for about 800 Deutsche marks, or about $450, a
month, the upper end of the local scale.

A neighbor who had visited the Conrads said they
had “very pretty furniture’’ and Mrs. Conrad had
some fine jewelry and a sizable collection of Hummel
porcelain figurines.

After a week of siege by television crews, neighbors
were shy to give their names. But they spoke of an
attractive couple with a 13-year-old son, Andxfe. who
was known among village youths as the owner of a
battery-powered car that be nad once driven in a town
parade.

Mrs. Conrad was said to have two grown daughters
by a first marriage, also to an American.

Neighbors said the Conrads regularly appeared at
village events, tookaglassof the respected local Nahe
wine, but rarely lingered.

Though the Conrads had two cars, an Audi and a
Volkswagen, they were sot considered conspicuously
wealthy. At his rank on retirement, Mr. Conrad would
have received a pension of about $900 a month.

Mr. Conrad’s service record traces an average, 20-
year career. He saved as an infantryman in Vietnam
from March 1966 to March 1967. and spent 16 of his
next 19 years in West Germany.

Soviets Deny Breaking Afghan Accords

By David Remnick

Washington Post Service

MOSCOW — The Soviet Union
denied accusations Wednesday by
the United States that Moscow' had
broken peace accords on Afghani-
stan when it sent bombers and heli-
copters from Soviet territory
against rebel forces in the northern
Afghan city of Kunduz.

Earlier reports by Tass, the offi-
cial Soviet news agency, said that
Afghan rebels had captured Kun-
duz Aug. 11 and controlled it for

one week. A spokesman for the
Foreign Ministry, Gennadi L Gera-
simov, said Wednesday that a
“small detachment" of Soviet
troops had been in Kunduz during
the rebel action.

[Tass said Wednesday that Af-
ghanistan has written to the United
Nations proposing a meeting be-
tween the United States, the Soviet
Union, Pakistan and Afghanistan
to discuss the Geneva accords on
Afghanistan. Reuters reported
from Moscow.

[Tass said the foreign minister of
Afghanistan, Abdul WaltiL wrote
to Secretary-General Javier Perez
de Cuellar suggesting that the for-
eign ministers of the countries meet
as soon as posable to discuss the
accords.]

According to Mr. Gerasimov,
“armed gangs, or so-called freedom
fi ght ers’* in Kunduz burned down
three hospitals; destroyed govern-
ment institutes, mosques ana pow-
er stations, and lolled government
officials and local traders.

Kurds , Alleging Use of Poison Gas ,
Report an Attack by 60 , 000 Iraqis

The Associated Press

NICOSIA — A Kurdish spokes-
man said Wednesday that Iraq at-
tacked Kurdish guerrillas in north-
eastern Iraq with at least 60,000
troops backed by fighter-bombers
and helicopter gunships dropping
poison gas.

“Heavy fighting is taking place
between our forces and the Iraqi
Army on all fronts," the official of
the Kurdish Democratic Party said
by telephone.

The official said the Iraqi offen-
sive, in which villages have been
burned to the ground, was
launched Monday across the 4,000
square miles ( 10,000 square kilo-
meters) of Kurdish-held Iraqi terri-
toiy.

There was no way to confirm the
report independently. But Kurdish
guerrilla groups have been bracing
for an all-out Iraqi offensive for
several weeks.

Meanwhile, officials in Ankara
said Turkey had allowed thousands
of Kurdish refugees into its territo-
ry because they were fleeing alleged
chemical bomb attacks by the Iraqi
military.

The officials said that Turkey
had given temporary refuge to the
Kurds on h umanitarian grounds
but that there was no question of
granting them asylum.

Turkey has a sizable minority of
]0 milli on Kurds in an overall pop-
ulation of 55 millioa. The Turkish
armed forces have been fighting
Kurdish guerrillas in southeastern
provinces since 1984. The clashes
have claimed about 700 lives from
each side so far.

Talking of the fighting, the
Kurdish spokesman said casualty
reports were sketchy because radio
contact with the Kurdish strong-
bold south of the Turkish border
was difficult. But he said Kurdish
guerrillas destroyed Iraq's 66 th
Special Forces Brigade, killing at
least 400 men in the mountainous
Sidikan region Monday.

He said 54 gnerrilias and more
than 100 Kurdish civilians were
killed and that the Iraqis suffered
“heavy losses."

Diplomats in Baghdad said
had taken advantage of the Aug. 1
cease-fire in the eight-year war with

Iran to intensify operations against
the Kurds, who seek autonomy and
who sided with the Iranians.

The Kurdish spokesman said the
brunt of the Iraqi assault was
aimed at rebel strongholds in
Zakho, Dahok, Mosul and Erbil
provinces.

He said that Iraqi jets dropped
poison gas bombs, which were out-
lawed under a 1925 Geneva treaty,
on villages and guerrilla positions
in the Zakho region Monday and
Tuesday.

It was not immediately knows
bow many died from the gas at-
tacks. Kurds have said that 500
were killed and 3,000 wounded in
.-Ju-mtoaJ attacks this month in the
buildup to the offensive.

“We have no gas masks, protec-
tive clothing, or antidotes for the
chemical weapons," the spokesman
said. “If s raiirino pamc among the
population."

About 20 million Kurds live in
the mountains where the Turkish.
Iraqi and Iranian borders meet.
Syria and the Soviet Union also
have Kurdish enclaves.

Mr. Gerasimov said tire rebels
had “perpetrated the acts” with Pa-
kistan's assistance.

He repeated charges that Paki-
stan is violating die Geneva peace
accords by harboring and support-
ing Afghan rebel groups.

“The situation in Kunduz did
not have to happen," Mr. Gerasi-
mov said.

He said that the United States, as
a partner in the Geneva accords,
should have “exerted correspond-
ing influence on the Pakistani lead-
ership with a view to suppressing
the interference in the internal af-
fairs of Af ghanistan and ending the
fratricidal war."

Without giving an exact date,
Mr. Gerasimov said that “at the
invitation of the Afghan govern-
ment," bombers left Soviet territo-
ry and fought along with Afghan
forces in Kunduz.

The Kabul government is report-
ed to have regained control of the
city Aug. 18.

“Countermeasures were re-
quired." Mr. Gerasimov said

In Washington on Tuesday, a
State Department spokeswoman
said the United States would bring
its objection to the Soviet military
action in Kunduz to the United
Nations.

Mr. Gerasimov called the U.S.
charges “groundless."

Soviet officials have said that
half their troop forces were with-
drawn by Aug. 15.

Officials said that there were no
Soviet troops in 25 of the Afghan
provinces.

Although the Soviet foreign min-
ister, Eduard A. Shevardnadze, has
repeatedly warned Islamabad
against continued support of the
rebels, he has said he expects the
total withdrawal of Soviet troops
from Afghanistan wiD be complet-
ed by Feb. 15. 1989.

UN Leader Presses Iran and Iraq for Concessions

Reuters

GENEVA — The UN secretary-
general, Javier Pfcrez de Cufflar,
pressed Iraq and Iran on Wednes-
day to make concessions in peace
talks. He warned that time was run-
ning oul

“The secretary-general is frus-
trated by the slow progress of the
talks and the inability to reach the
necessary compromise,” his
spokesman, Francois Giuliani, said
Wednesday.

The adversaries began negotiat-
ing last Thursday, but they have
not met directly since Friday. They
are still stuck on the first point of
the agenda. This involves a cease-
fire and a withdrawal of troops to
international boundaries.

“What we have to keep in mind
is that time is running out," Mr.
Perez de Cuellar said, pointing out
that he had to leave soon because of
other commitments.

Meanwhile, Iran warned that

fighting could break out again with
Iraq, saying that peace talks were
not going wefi ana accusing Bagh-
dad of cease-fire violations.

“Either we will reach peace
through negotiations, or Iraq s vio-
lations wiD lead to the war starting
anew," Tehran radio quoted a mili-
tary leader, Ali Akbar Hashemi
Rafsanjam. as saying.

Chinese and Soviets Finish Cambodia Talks

tinned Press International

BEIJING — China and the Sovi-
et Union concluded four days of
talks Wednesday on peace efforts
in Cambodia, and there are hints of
progress on major disputes block-
ing a settlement
The talks are the first between
the two major powers to focus on
Cambodia. It has been hoped that
they might lead to a breakthrough
that would help bring the decade-
old guerrilla war in the occupied
country to an end, as well as to an
improvement in overall Chinese-
Soviet relations.

The Soviet Union is the chief
military and financial backer of
Vietnam, which invaded and occu-
pied Cambodia in 1978. China is
the leading supplier of weapons for
the Cambodian resistance forces
fighting the Vietnamese, including
the Khmer Rouge.

Soviet sources said the Soviet
deputy foreign minister, Igor Roga-
chev, and the vice foreign minister
of China, Tian ZengpeL wrapped
up four days of meetings on the
main obstacles that have so far
frustrated a settlement.

There was no word on the sub-
stance of the meetings, but sources
said the talks had proceeded on
schedule and that Mr. Rogachev
would meet with Foreign Minister
Qian Qichen of China before leav-
ing Beijing.

Chinese sources described these
developments as optimistic signs,
saying that Mr. Rogachev would be
unlikely to meet with the foreign
minister unless some progress had
been made.

On Thursday, the talks will move
on to overall Chinese-Soviet rela-
tions, sources said.

Soviet Council Asks Solzhenitsyn to Be a Member

MOSCOW — Alexander Solzhe-
nitsyn, the exiled Soviet writer, has
been named a member of an unof-
ficial Soviet council in charge of
building a monument to the victims
of Statin's repressions, a spokes-
man said on Wednesday.

Alexander Vaisberg, who is on
the organizing committee for the
monument group, said Mr. Solzhe-
nitsyn was included on the council
on the basis of opinion surveys.

Mr. Solzhenitsyn won fame in
the early 1960s with his short novel
“One Day in the Life of Ivan Deni-

sovich." based on the labor camps
of the Statin era. He was expelled

aimed to go a long way to meeting
each side's concerns.

They said the plan covered the
withdrawal of troops, which is
Iran's concern; freedom of naviga-
tion, which is Iraq’s concern, and a
UN survey of the Shatt-al-Arab
waterway, the confluence of the Ti-
gris and Euphrates rivers.

Observers said that the survey
would begin to meet the request of
Iraq, for which the waterway is the
only outlet to the Gulf.

Since it would not yet actually
stipulate the clearing of the Shatt-
al-Arab, it might satisfy Iranian
reluctance to discuss the issue at
this point.

Iran, while expressing w itiing -
ness to clean up the Shatt-al-Arab.
has insisted that discussion of this
is irrelevant to the current talks on
a cease-fire and a withdrawal and
should not be considered now.

Iranian headquarters ordered all

Clashes Follow Choice
Of Pinochet by Junta

The Associated Press

SANTIAGO — Anti -government protesters clashed with riot
police across Chile after the mfliiary junta nominated President
Augusto Pinochet to rule UDtfl 1997. Two demonstrators were
reported to have been IriDed and scores to have been wounded.

General Pinochet promised a move toward democracy after being
named Tuesday as the only candidate in an Oct. 5 referendum, but
opposition groups criticized the nomination. The rightist general has
run Chile since taking power in a 1973 coup.

Demonstrators erected barricades in Santiago and blocked traffic
at many intersections. The police said 846 people had been arrested
in the capiud. Similar protests occurred in scores of other does.

News reports said that a 15-year-old had been lolled by gunmen
from a speeding car as he was banging a pot in protest from the
window of his home in Santiago. Hospital officials said a second boy
also died.

If the majority of Chile's 12 million registered voters cast “yes”
ballots for General Pinochet, he will start a new term March 11 to
last until 1997. If he is rejected, an open election will cake place
within a year, with the president remaining in power until then.

“The operetta is over " said Ricardo Lagos, a socialist and co-
leader of a 16-party opposition coalition. “General Pinochet has
imposed his will and is preparing to continue to oppress his people
until the end of the century."

measures intended to increase aid
to die rising number of ethnic Ger-

U.S. Poverty Rate at 13.5 Percent

WASHINGTON (AP) — About 32J million Americans, or 13.5
percent of the population, were living in poverty in 1987, the Census
Bureau reported Wednesday. The 1987 poverty threshold for afamily or

occurred despite the small increase in the total number of people living in
poverty because the population grew during the period.

The median family income rose to $30,850 in 1987, a 1 percent increase
over 1986 after adjustment for inflation. The poverty rate for whites

U.S. Is Seeking Wider Backgrounds
In Candidates for Foreign Service

By Hilary Stout

Ne »' York Times Service

WASHINGTON — Here in a
class of the United States Foreign
Service were the American diplo-
mats of tomorrow; an urban plan-
ner, a filmmaker, a USA Today
reporter, an art teacher, an aide to
|£he mayor of New York, a photog-
rapher. a businesswoman with an
master's degree in business, a smat-
tering of lawyers, and a few people
close to completing doctorates.

Bui where was the striped-pants
set of yore made up of the single-
minded. assured youths who used
to tackle the Foreign Service ex-
amination right after graduation
from ivy-clad colleges and embark
on a life’s career?

There were just two in this class
of 16. a 30-vear-old student nam ed
David Mees said. One of them was
just out of Harvard and another
from Georgetown. The class was
one of several training groups each
year for new officers conducted by
the Foreign Service Institute.

The Foreign Service of the late
19SGs is described as a “different
crowd" from the service of decades
past by its director-general George
S. Vest.

Each year about one out of 50 of
the 12,000 to 15,000 aspiring diplo-
mats who take the service written
exam go on to pass an oral exam,
’(‘'clear security and medical checks.
• and are accepted for training.

On average, those joining the
corps of about 4,500 Foreign Ser-
vice officers now are 31 years old
and more often than not have come
from other careers, such as science
and law. Mr. Vest said.

“This is very characteristic of to-
day’s society.” he said. ’Today,
people go through college, come
out, and they don’t make up their
minds right away. They tend to
maybe get 2 law degree, a graduate
degree, do some teaching, and be-
gin to get tbeir thoughts together.
Young people today just don’t sign
1 &n for life fast."

■ As a result, the Foreign Service is
becoming infused with widely var-
ied expertise. Cultural officers who
were artists or hold doctorates can
speak authoritatively with the cul-
tural elites of other nations. For-
mer business executives are able to

cized for not being terribly good at bottom rung of a new career after
management,’' he said. “I learned a doing well in an old one. I think
lot in the private sector and I think that’s something that wiU probably

I have a perspective people who
didn't do something else don't
have.”

Today’s Foreign Service is also
more representative than before of
the society it represents. About a
.third of the incoming Foreign Ser-
vice officers are women; a few de-
cades ago, women in the service
were rare. About 6 percent of the
incoming officers each year are
black. In hopes of increasing that
figure, the service is conducting re-
cruiting drives at historically black
universities, although Mr. Vest ac-
knowledges that it still has a long
way to go.

Representatives of other minor-
ities are being sought as well he
said.

Finally, the image of the Foreign
Service as a group made up of an
Ivy League elite has all but van-
ished. he said.

Mr. Vest, a former U.S. repre-
sentative at the European Commu-
nity in Brussels, recalled bis class
when he entered the service in
1947:

"There were approximately 42 of
us. There was one woman; there
were no minorities. We were begin-
ning to break the sound barrier
because the majority of us did not
come from Ivy League colleges.
Most of us were coming out of the
war and had not bad jobs. We did
not have enough background in
economics, and we did not have
much facility for languages. We
were a very dedicated bunch of
young people who had fought in
the war overseas."

While the Foreign Service in gen-
eral welcomes the new breed of
officers, some new members have
detected tensions.

“The guy who trained us said he :
sometimes has more trouble with
some people who are older because
they are less malleable," said Mr.
Mees, a junior officer in training

Secret Cocaine Sweep
By 30 Nations Revealed

By Michael Isikoff

Washington Past Service

Washington —The united

States and 29 Latin American and
European nations secretly coordi-
4fied military and police opera-
tions over the last month that were
aimed at destroying clandestine co-
caine laboratories and disrupting
the operations of Colombian drug
cartels. Attorney General Richard
L. Thornburgh has announced.

Mr. Thornburgh said the opera-
tions, overseen by the relatively ob-
scure International Drug Enforce-
ment Conference, were a
significant step toward closer inter-
national cooperation in stopping
the flow of illegal drugs.

The bulk of the operations were
conducted in South America and
Central America. In one case. Co-
lombian and Venezuelan military
and police officers coordinated
joint operations in attacking drug
labs and airstrips along their com-
mon border.

1 About the same time, Peruvian
forces staged a series of strikes
against coca operations in the Up-
per Huallaga Valley, setting 3,000
i Jfograms (6.600 pounds) of co-
caine in eight days.

’ ‘ “We have seen what we believe is
the future in cooperative law en-
forcement efforts," Mr. Thorn-
burgh said at a news conference
Tuesday. The operations were be-
ing announced at the same time in
Bogotd by the administrator of the
ILS. Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration. John C. Lawn, chairman of
die drug conference.

' Overall, the action resulted in the
seizure of 1 1 tons of cocaine, the
destruction of 13 cocaine laborato-
ries. the demolition of seven clan-
destine airstrips, the destruction of
244 tons of marijuana and the ar-
rest of more than 1,200 suspects,
Mr. Thornburgh said.

’ Bui when questioned by report-
he and other law enforcement
officials described the results as
Secondary in importance and said
that some of (he operations, such as

a recent two- ion seizure of cocaine
in New York, would probably have
taken place anyway.

• “f don’t think anybody is claim-
ing this is a success in the war on
drags," he said. “What we’re saying

is, this is an avenue toward suc-
cess.”

The operations included joint
border surveillance in Latin Ameri-
ca, enhanced intelligence sharing
and stepped-up border interdic-
tion, including the deployment of
about 100 U.S. National Guard
troops in Florida. Arizona and
Texas who have been assisting the
Customs Service in inspecting vehi-
cles for drugs.

Among tbe nations participating
in the operation was Panama,
whose military leader. General Ma-
nuel Antonio Noriega, has been
indicted in the United States on
drug trafficking charges.

Mr. Thornburgh said that no
U.S. drug intelligence had been
provided to General Noriega. But
he noted that as part of the pro-
gram. Pan amanian defense forces
had crossed the Costa Rican border
to make drug seizures.

Drug agencies from most of the
nations of Western Europe are also

“That's part of the bureaucracy.
The bureaucracy in itself is frus-

ROCKY MOUNT. North Caro-
lina — George Bush has been oper-
ating a “apUt-level" c ampaig n
strategy in recent days, stressing
broad issues before some audiences
and wa g in g a narrower attack on
“liberalism" before groups for
whom conservative social issues are
paramount

On Tuesday, Vice President
Bush, the Republican presidential
candidate, came to the political
homeland erf Senator Jesse Helms
and outdid the conservative Mr.
Helms in the fervor of his attacks
on liberalism.

Mr. Bush pnt every one of his
campaign themes on display, at-
tacking Michael S. Dukakis, his
Democratic opponent, on a range
of social issues intended to appeal
to conservatives and swimming to-
ward the political mainstream with
appeals on the economy and de-
fense.

His strongest language came as
be sought to portray Mr. Dukakis
as a liberal Mr. Bush told an audi-
ence at North Carolina Wesleyan
College here about “a wide chasm"
on “the question of values between
me and tbe liberal governor whom
Tm running against”

Mr. Bush hammered away at Mr.
Dukakis for his opposition to orga-
nized prayer in schools, gun control
and compulsory recitation of the
Pledge of Allegiance to the flag in
the public schools. Mr. Bush also
attacked a prison furlough pro-
gram in Massachusetts, where Mr.
Dukakis is governor, under which a
convicted murderer was released.

In Mr. Bush’s telling, all these
i«m« Mnif together as represent-
ing the lowest form of liberal rea-
soning.

Earlier, at a plant in Rocky
Mount Mr. Bush stressed broader
issues.

“One is employment — jobs and
opportunity.” he told employees
who make aircraft parts at the
plant “And the other has got to be
tbe peace and prosperity of the
United Stales."

Military plants have become the
location of choice for Mr. Bush’s

speeches because they embody the
central truths of his ca m pai g n:
That America is both economically
and militarily strong because of the
Ra«gan administration and that
the Democrats would threaten
both achievements.

Mr. Bush’s strategists know they
cannot count on prosperity alone
to win the election, especially
among conservative Democrats
ami independents who backed Mr.
Reagan m 1984 but regard Mr.
Bush with some suspicion.

That is where Mr. Bush's attacks
on the social issues come in. They
are not designed to appeal to a
majority of the electorate. Rather,
they are aimed at the perhaps 10 to
15 percent of the voters for whom
conservative social values are the
sine qua non of acceptable politics.

In eastern North Carolina, por-
traying an opponent as a liberal an
social issues can be helpful as Mr.
Helms dem onstrated in his own
campaigns. It helps Mr. Bush in
these parts that Mr. Dukakis is
from Massachusetts.

“ Massachuse tts is the borne of
only two things." said Jay Kriss, a
local Republican leader, “lobsters
and liberals.”

Mr. Dukakis, meanwhile, ap-
pears to have made a tactical shift.

In recent days, his campai gn has
been checked by an onslaught of
Republican attacks, struggling to
break through with a message of

economic opportunity that has
changed little in recent months and
was getting little attention.

On Tuesday, Mr. Dukakis joined
the fray.

Referring to the Iran-ooatta af-
fair, the overthrow of the former
Philippine president. Ferdinand E.
Marcos, and other foreign policy
issues, Mr. Dukakis said of Mr.
Bush:

“Here'S a «»an who supported
the sale of aims to a terrorist na-
tion, one erf the worst foreign policy
riiwtefs of this decade; was part of
an administration that was doing
business with drug-running Pana-
manian dictators; fmmelea aid to

the early '80s and commended
Marcos and his co mmi tment to de-
mocracy — and he’s talking about

body with that kind of judgment Mr. Reagan’s monetary proposals
h>aA £ng negotiations with the Sovi- - as “voodoo economics,
et Union or any other country." T *— k "“** * t “*

Mr. Dukakis also brought an ag-
gressive time to a speech on eco-
nomics at the University of Massa-
chusetts at Amherst.

Mr. Dukakis said, “Mr. Bush has
said that our trade relationship
with Japan is, in his words, 'su-
perb*; and it is — for Japan.”

“But Pm not running for prea-

the contras through convicted drug dent to create jobs in Japan,” he

Mr. Bush says that, after eight
years of voodoo economics, it’s
time to do it all over again,” he
said. “He’s proposed a five-year,
$40 billion capital gains giveaway.
Most erf it wOl go to people making
more than $200,000 a year. That’s
not building an economy; that’s

He added: “We’ve already seem

The Gulf War Isn’t Over

An ancient quarrel over the vital water-
way separating Iran and Iraq threatens to
scuttle the Gun War truce even before taiirc
begin in Geneva. Iraq now balks at compli-
ance with the term? of the United Nations
cease-fire resolution, insisting on full naval
access to the disputed Shan al-Arab in ad-
vance of peace talks. In that case, counters
Ayatollah RuhoQah Khomeini, Iran should
consider itself at war. Secretary-Genera] Ja-
vier Perez de Cu&Dar urgently needs help
from the major powers to lean on Iraq to put
the peace process bade on track.

In demanding sovereignty over the Shatt,
Iraq has affronted the permanent members
of the Security Council. They were able to
win Tehran's acceptance of a cease-fire call-
ing for a withdrawal “to the internationally
recognized borders without delay.” This is
unambiguous: Iraq's eastern frontier is de-
fined in a 1975 treaty with Iran that
the world still recognizes.

When Iraq began the Gulf War in 1980, it
repudiated that treaty, which gave Iran con-
trol of half the Shatt, Iraq's only outlet to the
sea. When the war deadlocked, Iraq said it
had abandoned territorial demands. But

now, with his million- strong army massed on
cease-fire lines. President Saddam Hussein
demands restoration of Iraq's full control
over the 127-mfle (200-kilometer} waterway.

Iraq has valid reasons for worrying about
the Shatt, a shallow passage now clogged
with wreckage. Iran has a 1.000-mile coast-
line, but Iraq's only route for tankers is
through this channel leading to its second
dry, the port of Basra. Since the Treaty of
Zohab in 1639, argument has been continu-
ous over boundary lines, navigation rights,
toBs and use of ports: Neither side seemed
wining or able to establish a definite border.

The Gulf War is a tangled affair, with little
scruple shown for human rights or the
world's interest in innocent passage through
the Gulf. But it would be outrageous to make
troop withdrawals and prisoner exchanges
hostage to a boundary dispute that has baf-
fled diplomats for three ana a half centuries.

Iraq needs assured access through the
Shall — and stable relations with its more
populous neighbor. Let Baghdad press for a
fair boundary deal But that has to be the
fruit of settlement, not a precondition.

Filling the Dukakis Void

For the last two weeks, George Bush has
been defining himself and Michael Duka-
kis. He presents hims elf as patriotic, tough
and caring. He portrays the Massachusetts
governor as a closet liberal who favors uni-
lateral disa rmam ent and furloughs for fel-
ons and who hates the Pledge or Allegiance.

Not terribly edifying, and sometimes
shrill. But it has been effective. And Mr.
Bosh is likely to remain effective with this
pitch its til Mr. Dukakis starts filling his own
policy void — and until the public registers
dissatisf action with negative campaign mg

Understandably, (he Democratic candi-
date's staff members are unhappy with this
state of affairs. They publicly lament the
press’s preoccupation with daily Republi-
can charges rather than the substance of
the daily D ukakis speeches.

But should the press become more inter-
ested in substance, it might find slim pick-
ings. Following Mr. Dukakis's “major” eco-
nomic policy speech Monday. The
Washington Post noted only one new sub-
stantive element. To his usual call for “good
jobs at good wages," Mr. Dukakis had add-
ed “in the good old UJLA." The New York
Times dutifully noted Mr. Dukakis's com-
mitment to prosperity u for every family in
every community." The Wall Street Journal
carried nary a word of what reporters de-
scribed as a speech lacking in details.

To be sure, Mr. Bush is not covering

hims elf with glory, lei alone plausibility.
While he asserts Mr. Dukakis has opposed
every new weapon system since the slingshot,
he suggests that he has never met a weapon
he didn't like. And he intends to just keep
spending on defense, though he insists cut-
ting the budget deficit is a top priority.

Mr. Bush also appears to be pulling back
on his recent cautious statement about “star
wars.” Last week he told The Times his
decision to deploy space-based defenses
would depend on proving out the technol-
ogy. Responding to questions Monday, be
a g ain implied he could hardly wait to spend
the hundreds of billions needed to deploy.

The best way for either candidate to fend
off negative jabs is to stand for something.
Vice President Bush needs to demonstrate
he's a leader, and he will not be able to do so
over the long run by contriving silly accusa-
tions about his opponent. And if Mr. Duka-
kis has serious questions to raise about the
durability of today’s peace and prosperity,
he cannot hope to convey them simply by
chanting “let’s see." “u depends” "and
“trust me and my competence."

The two men, through their aides, are
now jockeying dates for face-to-face de-
bates. Perhaps those debates will engage
serious issues and lift the rhetoric above the
level of crude caricature. But why should
the electorate be forced to wait?

Quayle Fired Too Soon

Senator Dan Quayle made an embarrass-
ing mistake in discussing gun control laws
die other day The Republican rice presi-
dential nominee was asked if he thought
convicted murderers on furlough, for exam-
ple. should be able to buy handguns. Con-
victed felons, he answered, “can’t just walk
into a store and buy a gun. There are all
sorts of restrictions, there are ail sorts of
state laws . . . Current laws are adequa-
te ... I don’t believe we should impose
additional requirements on law-abiding cit-
izens wanting to go in and buy guns."

Mr. Quayle should know not just that
this is not the case, but that it is exactly this
situation — the criminal who wants to buy
a weapon quickly — that the national legis-
lature has been grappling with. It is a trib-
ute to the propaganda effort of the gun
lobby that many citizens, including appar-
ently this U.S. senator, are ready to assume
that any kind of gun control measure
should be resisted by all “law-abiding citi-
zens" as some kind of a plot to disarm the
cation. Whatever the merits of a national
registration system, no one is even talking
about it. The debate is, in fact, a narrow
one, directed not at sportsmen or burners.

bat at the would-be handgun purchasers
everyone agrees should not be able to buy.

Federal law already prohibits the sale of
handguns to felons, the mentally ill minors,
illegal aliens and drug addicts. But in most
states such a person can simply sign a form
dainung eligibility and he will be sold a gun
immediately. No one checks. In 22 states,
however, there is a mandatory waiting peri-
od so that law enforcement authorities can
be notified and objections to a sale can be
made. These laws work. Thousands of fel-
ons are caught trying to buy handguns each
year. So what does a smart crook do? He
goes across a state tine to a jurisdiction
without a waiting period and easily boys his
weapon. The current patchwork of state
laws undermines enforcement everywhere.
That is why Congress is considering a na-
tional waiting period. President R e agan
and every mag or law enforcement organiza-
tion in the country have endorsed the idea.
Mr. Quayle would do a service if he ad-
dressed this issue again, explaining to those
who traditionally oppose all gun control
measures that some federal laws not only
are sensible but are essentiaL

WeU-Programmed Bach

Those proverbial monkeys banging away
at a roomful of typewriters in search of
“Hamlet" may finally have competition:
Somewhere at IBM there is now a computer
that composes Bach chorales. Well, alxnost
What the computer program CHORAL
does is create perfect Bach- style harmonies
when supplied wiih the proper melody;
and, of course, the computer gets a lot more
guidance in its efforts than the frequently
invoked monkeys. It is the nature of that
guidance that lends the experiment signifi-
cance and makes it less a mechanization of
Bach than a celebration of bis genius.

For the computer to harmonize a 20-bar
piece of music, it needs about 23 billion
different commands based on 350 separate
rules, all drawn from analysis of the 300
chorales the German composer actually
wrote in his lifetime. These are all brief
pieces of sacred music written for the Lu-
theran Church and intended to be sung by
soprano, alto, tenor and bass singers in a
rigidly pure, rule-based pattern of inter-
wearing melodies. Rental Ebcioglu, the IBM
computer specialist and music theory scholar
who wrote the program, complains that
when be programmed a computer with only
the harmonization rules from orthodox mu-
se theory treatises, be got runes with a me-

chanical, computer-loop sound. The addi-
tional couple of hundred rules, which Mr.
Ebcioglu then wrote based on study of the
chorales, come out of the gap between what
Bach was taught to do and what he intuitive-
ly did. It may be the first time a computer's
capabilities have given us a yardstick for
measuring or appreciating genius.

No one so far has come up with an
immediate practical use for this yardstick,
but it does add some much-needed human-
istic spice to the austerely frightening re-
search endeavor known as artificial intelli-
gence. Mr. Ebcioglu stresses that “to get to
the ‘Bach style* you had to go to the source.
There has to be a style to imitate." Earlier in
his career he bad experimented with the
much simpler process of programming a
computer to produce 16th-centuiy musical
counterpoint. Turning his attention to
Bach-like harmonies required a plunge into
“desirability rules," stylistic decisions,
choices among layers of nonessential orna-
mentation — all in all, he reflected, “a great
complexity explosion.” Without the guid-
ance of these 350 rules, he says, the compos-
ing computer sticks to its nature as a strik-
ingly unoriginal and unintelligent student.
Somehow, that’s reassuring.

A U.S. Response to Moscow’s Charm Offensive in Asia

W ASHINGTON — Senior Sovi-
et and Chinese officials, meet-
ing in Beijing, have just concluded
talks on Cambodia that may have
laid the groundwork for peace there.
While an end to the Cambodian con-
flict is obviously important, the meet-
ings have taken bo even greater signifi-
cance. Thai both powers would agree
to participate underscores the remark-
able political rhanfftt unleashed in
the Far East by the enlightened diplo-
macy of Mikhail Gorbachev.

The prospects of Chinese-Soviet
detente, peare in Indochina and even
unproved Soviei-Japanese relations
all reflect a reshaping of the political
landscape two years after Mr. Gorba-
chev outlined a fresh approach in his
landmark Vladivostok speech of July
1986. The new Soviet diplomacy,
when combined with growing Asian
nati onalism and fears of American
protectionism, poses new challenges
to U.S. interests in the region.

Until recently, Moscow’s Asian
policy consisted of an unprecedented
military buildup and imperious tac-
tics that left many states suspicious.
Moscow’s bluster bad the unintended
consequence of bolstering U.S. inter-
ests, as Washington forged closer ties
to China and to the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN,
and solidified a strategic partnership
with Japan. At the same time, most
conflicts in East Aria were fought be-
tween Communist countries: China
and the Soviet Union, China and Viet-
nam and Vietnam and Cambodia.

On the surface, at least Mr. Gorba-
chev has changed all that He has
cleaned house in his foreign policy
bureaucracy, stocking his Asian em-
bassies with sophisticated diplomats
carrying out a charm offensive previ-
ously reserved for Weston Europe.
And he has reinforced the new style
and tactics with important conces-
sions — most notably, retreating from
Afghanistan, removing SS-20 m is sil es
in the Soviet Far East and pressuring

that next year will bring a
rese-Soviet summit meeting —
the first in 30 years — which will
formalize the rapprochement, com-
plete with restored party-to-party re-
lations and even military contacts.

In Southeast Asia, top officials
from virtually all ASEAN states have
traveled to Moscow, anxious to meet
die captivating Soviet leader. And
with a Cambodian resolution now
within sight, Moscow has emerged as
a key power broker with an opportu-
nity for new relations with the non-
Communist states of the region.
Change is stirring even in Moscow's
relations with Japan, though faintly.

Mr. Gorbachev is also champion-
ing anti-nuclear forces in the Pacific,
urgin g ihe creation of nuclear-free
zones and curbs on nrilnaiy activity
everywhere in the region where Mos-
cow has little or no presence. In the

Philippines, for example, Soviet dip-
lomats have missed no opportunity to
exacerbate popular sentiment against
the American military bases.

The net effect is a growing pacep-
tion of a sharply receding Soviet
threat that, in mm, is altering politi-
cal relations in East Asia. Where once
there was a wary network of states
mobilized by Washington to counter
Soviet expansionism, the trend now is
toward a world of less certain alli-
ances and growing rivalries between
the Asian counpies.

In tins chang in g environment, with
Moscow viewed as part threat part
partner, the traditional American
balancing role is more crucial to sta-
bility than ever. Yet, while few allies
desire a U.S. retreat, talk of burden-
sharing and of American decline is
casting a shadow over America's rde.

This is the paradox of the Pacific

century. If the United States is to
retain its predominant role in the
Pacific, an activist Washington must
rival Moscow in subtlety and sophis-
tication as well as military might,
with its own new thinking.

Such thinking might oegbi with
the acceptance of Moscow's legiti-
mate role in the region, distinguish-
ing that from such truly threatening
behavior as new military deploy-
ments or the barking of Communist
insurgencies. That would help redi-
rect superpower competition into the
economic and political realms. Here,
Washington, as the underwriter of
East Asa's dynamism, has a decided
edge. especially as the novelty of
Moscow's j oinmg the game weare thin.

Shadows as the Showa Em Nears an End

T OKYO — Japan, a nation that
cherishes the power of symbols
and the observance of socially ac-
cepted norms, has recently been
shaken by some distressing incidents
that call into question its sense of
symbolic order and the values that
underlie il None of these events was
earth-shattering; but tire reaction to
them suggests that amid their indis-
putable economic prosperity, many
Japanese fear their country is being
overwhelmed by problems it may
not be able to resolve.

The long era known as Showa. as
the reign of Emperor Hirohito is
known, is slowly drawing to a close.
As it does, many are wondering
aloud whether this nation knows
where it is going and what it has to
do to get there. Consider
• A Japanese submarine recently
collided with a sport-fishing boat in
Tokyo Bay, killing more than 30
people. The defense minister re-
signed over the affair, but many
Japanese are still shocked that the
sub's crew did nothing to save those
drowning before their eyes. The of-
ficial explanation: No orders were
given to rescue anyone.

• A few wedcs later, a police detail
assigned to members of the royal
family refused to join the search for
a child who disappeared whfleswim-

rage happened to be passing. Hie

re a change of clothing with them.
Clearly, most Japanese would
like to believe these are one-time,
freak occurrences. But questions
linger: If die navy cannot rescue
civilians in peacetime, how would it.
respond in a military crisis? After
40 years of democratization, is the
military still so ditist that it feels no
obligation to serve the people it
supposedly protects? Do shameless
violations of Japan’s com mu nal spir-
it indicate a lingering attachment to
discredited ways of the past?

But spreading bewilderment
about the decaying moral founda-
tions of society has not been <
dered solely by the actions of ]
servants. Early this summer, tne na-
tion was shocked when a 14-year-
old student brutally murdered his
parents and grandmother with a
baseball bat as they slept
There is a sense that this could
happen in any home, and few seem
to wonder why. Japan’s school sys-
tem is so intensely competitive that
parents almost have to chain chil-
dren to their desks to absorb the

thousands of facts necessary to pass
entrance exams — the ticket to suc-
cess in Japanese society.

It is easy to imagine the symbolic
impact of such events on the mem-
bers of a society in which adherence
to public law and respect for par-
ents have traditionally been consid-
ered hallmarks of national order.

The reactions these incidents
hove evoked tell us~ something im-
portant about the current state of
the Japanese ptyche. The Japanese
are enjoying a degree of prosperity
unmatched in their history; bid
they are beginning to fed chat
somewhere along the way they must
have made some sedans mistakes
— and that these are coming home
to haunt them just when they
should finally be able to enjoy the
fruits of hard work and sacrifice.

As they approach the end of the
Showa era, many Japanese are be-
ginning to harbor doubts about the
oeaiabOity of the system their lead-
ers erected to make the nation a
world power. But nobody seems to
know quite what to do about it

The Drought Is Not the Farmers’ Biggest Problem

W ASHINGTON — The images
of this summer's drought in
America are of parched fields, ruined
crops and, once again, devastated
farmers. Few groups elicit so much
sympathy as easily as ihe farmers do.
In a recent survey" Americans ranked
the “plight of fanners" as the fifth
most serious national problem, be-
hind AIDS, drug abuse, medical costs
and federal budget deficits, but
ahead of crime, poverty', trade defi-
cits and many others.

Forget the images. If the drought
does not recur next year, farmers'
losses will be manageable. The real
peril lies elsewhere: The droaght
could sabotage negotiations to liber-
alize world trade in farm products. Its
temporary effects on grain supplies
may relieve pressure for reform creat-
ed by overproduction in the 1980s.
Failure of the trade talks could be
crippling for U.S. farmers. They need
freer global markets to absorb the
ample harvests of most other years.

The chronic problem of American
agriculture is surplus, not scarcity.
Better seed varieties and planting
lechoiques have raised production
steadily. In 1967 the U.S. corn har-
vest totaled 4.9 billion bushels; the
average yield was 80 bushels per acre.
By 1987 the harvest was 7.1 billion
bushels and the yield was 1 19 bushels
per acre. But Americans eat well, and
food demand grows slowly. Only so
much more core can be fed to cattle,
bogs and poultry in the United
States. Unless the grain surpluses can
be profitably exported, they depress
prices and farmers' incomes.

The trouble is that exports are hob-
bled by other countries quotes, sub-
sidies and support prices designed to
protect local fanners. The European
Community’s grain support prices
are well above international prices:
The high prices stimulate excess pro-
duction. which is then dumped onto
the world market with huge subsidies.
Japan imports almost no rice, in or-
der to insulate high-cosi local farm-
ers. Few countries have renounced all
restrictions. America has import quo-

tas on sugar that leave U.S. prices at

roughly twice the world 1
Under this system, subsidies ex-
ploded in the 1980s. In Europe they
were export subsidies: in the united
States t hey were direct payments to
farmers to condensate for low mar-
ket prices. Hie United States now has
proposed ending all subsidies and im-
port restrictions (including its own)
by the year 2000. The goal was proba-
bly too sweeping, but major changes

much-needed reform.

seemed possible because existing pol-
icies had en

grown so costly.

The drought upsets this calculus.
Grain supplies are tighter and prices
higher. Subsidy costs have dropped,
relaxing pressures to negotiate. The
European Community is a major ob-
stacle to significant reforms: In the
past year, its cost of dumping a bush-
el of wheat on the world market has
dropped by half. “It's political iner-
tia,* said one trade official. “Politi-
cians in free societies generally don’t
act unless they have to."

These issues have been obscured
by speculation about the drought's
long-term climatic implications and
its short-term economic impact. Both
are exaggerated. Many meteorolo-
gists say they doubt the drought has
much to do "with the greenhouse ef-
fect (the heating of the Earth caused
by the buildup of carbon dioxide and
other gases in the atmosphere). In
most years since the late 1970s. said
Norman Rosenberg of Resources for
the Future, weather for crops has been
good. Any buildup of atmospheric
gases in the past year would have bam
too small to trigger the drought

Droughts come and go. The
drought of 1888-92 caused half the
settlers of Kansas and Nebraska to

leave. “This drought, in terms of se-
verity. is no greater than the droughts
of the 1930s," said Mr. Rosenberg.
The immediate economic conse-
quences are serious, but not cata-
strophic. Two respected consulting
companies. Farm Sector Economics
Associates and Schnittker Associates,
gave this appraisal based on crop
conditions in early August:

Crops will be hit hard, but no scarci-
ties loom because grain reserves are
high- The com crop will drop about 37
percent, the soybean crop 23 percent
and the wheat crop 13 percent. Soy-
beans will be in the tightest supply:
before the 1989 harvest, reserves will
equal less than a month's demand.

Food prices may rise 2 to 3 per-
centage points more in 1989 titan
forecast But the extra increase in the
total consumer price index will not
exceed 0_5 percent; food prices repre-
sent less than a fifth of all consumer
prices. Meat prices win rise most;
higher grain costs will reduce beef,
pork and poultry production.

Total farm income will not drop
sharply, though there will be winners
and losers among individual farmers
and localities. Net farm cash income
this year is estimated at SS7.2 billion,
almost unchanged from 1987s S56.8
billion. Higher prices will offset lower
grain and meat production.

No one knows whether the drought
will continue next year and magnify
these effects. But even with good
1989 crops, aain markets may re-
main tight and hurt the trade negotia-
tions that end in 1990. A sign of
whether the talks are progressing win
come in December, when trade offi-
cials meet in Montreal. They are sup-
posed to agree on broad goals.

Changing farm policies is disrup-
tive, because some farmers cannot
survive without subsidies or import
protection. But farmers, along with
consumers and taxpayers every-
where, are also the victims. Food
prices remain artificially high while
subsidies encourage overproduction

by inefficient farmers. American and
Argentine grain fanners suffer be-
cause the European Community
overproduces ana dumps the surplus-
es. Efficient sugar producers in the
Philippines and the Caribbean suffer
because the United States and Euro-
pean Community restrict imports.

Marek Halter’s account (Opinion, -
Aug. J I), of a long, blunt conversa-
tion with Yasser Arafat on Aug. 20
shows that the wily leader of the
Palestine liberation Organization is
feeling the pressures of new circum-
stances. Mr. Halter, a Polish- born
French writer who cultivates the look
erf an Old Testament prophet, is an
ardent supporter of Israel and of the
Jewish cultural heritage, and be is a
would-be peacemaker. He accepted
Mr. Arafat's summons to Tunis in
order to put Ihe tough questions.

The last time he met with Mr. Ara-
fat was shortly after Anwar Sadat’s

d ramatic trip In farpsa teni and he said

that, “Now you will have to do the
same, make peace.” According to Mr.
Halter, Mr. Arafat replied: “Perhaps
you are right but it is not time. Don't
you realize I would be killed for it?"

Mr. Halter’s retort was brutal and -
prescient. “If you are not prepared to
die for your people. Mr. Chairman,
your people wad aie for you.”

Mr. Halter believes the request for
another meeting now reflects an at-
tempt by Mr. Arafat to reach out tel*
Jewish opinion in the diaspora, espe^ 7 1
daily in the United States, in hopes
that it will influence Israel to accept •
negotiations for a Palestinian state.

Mn Arafat made all ihe right noises —
for a permanent peace, abandonment:
of terrorism, full recognition of Israel, '
even a confederation with Jordan de-
spite King Hussein's pronouncement.

But dial was in private: -The PLO
leader has dorm that before, only to
say something different to the nexti

Mr. Hal ter has no illusions about

leader accepted/ It remains to be

He is still dancing around the idea

A Sauer Nuclear Course for India and Pakistan

.The recent death of Pakistan's
president focuses new attention on
the nuclear balance in this pan of
Asia. Pakistan has been trying to
«"«ain nuclear weapon capability
: .bee the early 1970s. It is widely
believed that if it does not already
have such capability, it soon will.
By ruling out the option of destroy-
ing Pakistan's nuclear facilities. In-
dia implicitly accepts a nuclear Pa-
kistan. It therefore requires a policy
that will deal with such a Pakistan.

This policy should be mainly con-
cerned with the limitation of nuclear
weapons. The emphasis so for
placed oc any nuclear weapon ought
to be replaced by a policy that con-
trols the vertical proliferation of In-
dian and Pakistani nuclear weapons.
7 To provide a framework for such
a policy. Indian leaders have to
accept a basic fact: Once Pakistan
achieves nuclear status, a more or
less equal military relationship be-
fpreen India and Pakistan will pre-

J. Indian military superiority'
HI I be losti .Any arms control
agreement would have to accept
equivalent limits on nuclear weap-
ons. There can be no margin for
Indian nuclear superiority.

Hawks would argue that India
needs more nuclear weapons to de-
ter China. This view is specious.
Since 1914 no Indian government

has held the view that nuclear weap-
ons are essential 10 deter a nuclear
China. India started work, on its
nuclear program after the Chinese
nuclear detonation in 1964. but its
primary concern afl along has been
Pakistan. A small number of effec-
tive nuclear weapons would present
a far more credible deterrent than
□o reliable nuclear weapon (no Indi-
an nuclear test has been carried
out in nearly 15 years).

It would appear that, if Pakistan
detonates a mid ear weapon, there
can then be no scope for an arms
control agreement. This need not be
so. Pakistan would have attained its
long-held goal of military parity
with India. It need not be restrained
in pursuing a satisfactory arms con-
trol agreement with India. Step- by-
step negotiations could be carried
oul First, limitations on the rate of
production need to be agreed upon.
Verification procedures would have
to be adequate. Later, a ceiling on
the number 0 / nuclear weapons
could be worked oul

Once Pakistan achieves nuclear
status, the Indian government can
either get involved in a nuclear

arms race or strive for an arms
control agreement It is hoped that
it will choose the saner course.

What Dukakis Should Do
About All the Low Blows

B OSTON — Ronald Reagan showed
in 1980 that a conservative could
run ir. affirmative campaign of ideas.
Hb themes were lower taxes, higher mfl-
tian impending and other ideas shaped
by the modern conservative movement,
ah presented in a framework of opti-
mism. Like them or not. they were pow-
erfully effective.

George Bush is off in the opposite
direction: not affirmative but negative.

, %i«ws and innuendos
time a war of sticking .

not ideas but personalities. His cam-
paign so far has shown one do minan t
strategy: to pick apart Michael Dukakis.

Mr. Bush and his surrogates have
been painting Governor Dukakis as un-
patriotic. dangerously leftist, mentally
unstable. The characterizations are ludi-
crous. but it does not follow that they
will have no effccL American voters
have often shown themselves susceptible
to campaigns of character assassination.

Red-baiting worked in the 1950s. Rich-
ard Nixon and Joe McCarthy helped to
defeat some Democrats by smearing
tbem as “soft on communism.”

1 Vice President Bush has shifted, not
very subtly, from “soft on communism"
to the statement that Mr. Dukakis is “a
card-carrying member of the American
Chii Liberties Union." And he has im-
plied that Mr. Dukakis is unpatriotic
because he vetoed an unconstitutional
bfli to brand teachers as criminals if
they did not force their students to recite
the Pledge of Allegiance.

By Anthonv Lewis

He would have signed the pledge bill.
Mr. Bush said, and then let any objec-
tors take it to court — although the
Supreme Court had made clear that it
was unlawful. That was the tactic that
racist Southerners used during the strug-
gle over school segregation: keep forc-
ing decided issues back into the courts.
Is that what Mr. Bush favors?

The patriotism strategy reached a
new low recently when Senator Steven
Syzzims. a Republican from Idaho, at-
tacked Mr. Dukakis's wife. Kitty. He
had heard, Mr. Symms said, that there
were pictures of Mrs. Dukakis “burn-
ing the American flag when she was an
anti-war demonstrator during the
'60s.” Mrs. Dulrakis denied the charge
and said the opposition roust be “des-
perate" to make it.

But the attacks on Governor Dukakis
are not just designed to question his
patriotism. Their deader purpose is to
raise doubts about his character, his
identity — to make people say. “We
don’t really know Mike Dukakis.”

That was the significance of the at-
tempted smear in early August on Mr.
Dukakis’s mental health. The Lyndon
LaRouche crazies were planting ru-

mors that he had had psychiatric treat-
ment for depression. The story sur-
faced Aug. 3 on The Wall Street
Journal's editorial page, which nowa-
days makes the late William Loeb's
newspaper, the Manchester (New
Hampshire) Union- Leader, seem a
model of fair-mindedness.

The Journal spoke of what it called
“the health-record issue" — Mr. Duka-
kis’s declining to release all his medical
history to the press. It spoke of "ru-
mors about his depression." The issue.

it said, showed “how little the Ameri-
can people know about this man.” And
it added, “Is Michael Dukakis really
what the voters think they see?"

Later that same day President Rea-
gan, asked about the Massachusetts gov-
ernor’s health records, said. “Look. I’m
noL going to pick on an invalid." Anyone
who thinks that crack was accidental
must believe in the Tooth Fairy.

Rowland Evans and Robert Novak,
columnists with good connections to
conservatives, wrote afterward that the
Bush campaign tried to spread that
smear. Republicans, they said, “are
coming to feel that the political destruc-
tion or Mr. Dukakis is necessary for
Bush to win ... The stability and credi-
bility of the governor of Massachusetts
must be undermined."

There was nothing to the tale about
psychiatric treatment, if indeed it would
matter that a wise person sought help in

times of stress. But smears have a way of
sticking despite their untruth.

I think the psychiatric smear and [he
Bush innuendos about Mr. Dukakis's pa-
triotism have had an effect. I think people
are wondering whether Michael Dukakis
is a little strange, or at any rate unknown.

What can Mr. Dukakis do about it?
The best answer would be to get into
television debates with the vice presi-
dent. but the vice president is trying to
slither out of that commitment.

The alternative is for Mr. Dukakis to
lift his campaign oul of the platitudes
where it is stuck now and talk affirma-
tively to the big issues: how the United
States must meet its real needs, in a
tough world, by tackling the environ-
ment. education and other hard issues.
In the course of that Michael Dukakis
will have to show more deeply, more
emotionally, who be is.

P ARIS — It might be difficult to
imagine, but Burma was not always
a dim and forgettable outline tin
the map of Asia.

In the early 1960s. the Union of Bur-
ma was moving in contemporary time,
out of the shadow of colonialism. Not
fully apace, of course, but moving never-
theless. Its people were open, industri-
ous. cheerful Iu students restless. Ran-
goon was ascending.

For an American boy living on Prome
Road, a gateway to the capital life was
anything but duIL We slept as geckos
cruised the ceilings and awoke to humid
commerce on the streets.

Bicycles and black Citroen sedans
filled the boulevards. Three-wheeled
open taxis darted about. They cornered
with just enough tilt to give occupants
a sense that life could end at any mo-
ment The rusting red buses seemed
to carry half the city’s populace on
their running boards.

Street vendors mixed curries in a
cloud of steam and spice. Old men
sipped tea from their saucers. Gerks
crouched on the sidewalks, balancing a
leaf full of rice in one hand and gently
shoveling in lunch while waiching lun-
geis pass in review.

The lungyi. There was a fine inven-
tion. A mere cylinder of cotton, it served
as a genderless gown, skirt or shorts,
depending on bow one draped and knot-
ted it Hanging from the waist in a loose
curtain, the lungyi was a perfect air-
conditioned solution to the tropics.

For a game of soccer, the lungyf 5 hem
was pulled up, gathered between the legs
from front to back and stuffed in at the
waist in back. Instant shorts.

Every April, a kind of Buddhist Mardi
Gras swept the country. It was Maha
Thingyan, the Water Festival, and the
idea was to cleanse one's soul with a
dousing of water. In reality, it was a
national squirt-gun battle. Anyone in

sight was a target- Water mains were
lapped with thick bamboo pipes that
filled s trategically placed barrels. Truck-
loads of young people roamed the city
carrying their own ammunition ana
launchers, their lungyis tucked up for
action. Wet chaos ensued.

Movie theaters were popular, and the
billboards downtown featured romance
and battlefield heroics. When a foreign

MEANgggjE

film arrived in which a Moslem married
a Hindu, all bell broke loose in street
fights between the rival communities:

Tourism, never a mainstay, was com-
ing into its own. Travelers wanted to see
the enormous, gold-layered Shwedagon
Pagoda in Rangoon, the dramatic reclin-
ing Buddha of Pegu, and the ancient city
of Pagan. Some flew up to Sandoway, a
beach paradise on the Bay of Bengal

A train ride north to the storied city of
Mandalay was not always swift: we
waited on one trip for a boa constrictor
to meander across the rails.

On Independence Day, Burma's
many tribes converged on the capital for
a parade that must have rivaled any in
Asia for diventity and color. The Nagas
— headhunters, we were told — sent a
platoon. The S han. Karen and Sachin
peoples came in tribal dress, and the
military bands blared.

Impartiality in foreign affairs was a
hallmar k. The government of Prime
Minister U Nu hosted scores of Israelis
in an effort to create a kind of Burmese
kibbutz. Moscow was bunding a huge
lakeside hotel on the outskirts of Ran-
goon. Americans sent by Washington or
the Ford Foundation, including my fa-
ther, offered assistance in the sciences
and agriculture. When Zhou Enlai ar-

rived for a state visit, die Chinese Icsder
was welcomed with a frenzy of red flags.
A neutralist Burmese, U Thani, became
United Nations secretary-general.

To be sure, the government was not
universally loved. Nor were foreigners.
Ethnic and political rebellions dogged U
Nu. When a cache of U.S. arms was

found in the hands of Nationalist Chinese

Burma's journey into darkness began
on Mardi Z, 1962. Armored personnel
carriers and camouflaged trucks rolled
into the capital along Prone Road. Sol-

arrested. So was the Constitution-

be called “the Burmese way to social-
ism" nod marched the nation headlong
into isolation and dictatorship. Many
foreigners were: ordered to leave, and
there was a sc ramb le to hire Chinese
carpenters who built shipping crates.

m the years since, Western reporters
have slipped into Rangoon for a few
days every year or so. They emerged
with word of a teetering economy and a
beleaguered but gentle people.

I do not know bow the Burmese en-
dured. Their bitterness most hove been
deep, for they have risen in an angry
mass. In a dispatch from Rangoon last
vreek, after Ids release from a month in
prison, U Sein Win, 66, a Former newspa-

seemingly passive acceptance of authori-

Burma Threatens
To Curb Protesters

Reuters

RANGOON. Burma — The
government said Wednesday that it
would take action against demon-
strators seeking democracy unless
they left the government offices
they had occupied.

The announcement, the first hint
of a dampdown on the mass revolt
against single-party rule, was
broadcast on Rangoon radio, the
last media outlet still in govern-
ment hands.

Without specifying what action
it might take, the government de-
manded that protesters vacate gov-
ernment offices immediately, add-
ing: “Those bent on violence wiD
have to bear the responsibility for
any consequences resulting from
the refusal of this order.’*

The warning, which Lhe radio
said had come from Prime Minister
Thura U Tun Tin’s office, was is-
sued as student leaders called for
mass rallies and a general strike.

U Nu. the last prime minister
before U Ne Win seized power in a
1962 coup, said in an interview that
more than two-thirds of the coun-
try was under Lhe control of the
people.

Western diplomats in Rangoon
said administration by the r uling
Burma Socialist Program Party bad
collapsed in 40 towns and some
suburbs of Rangoon and that Bud-
dhist monks, students and other
civilians had set up committees to
run local affairs.

Smdem leaders said they were
calling strikes they hoped would
paralyze the nation Thursday.
Mass rallies were to begin at Ran-
goon General Hospital, a focus of
demonstrations.

In subsequent days, the students

said, strikes might rotate among
different sectors of the economy, a
clear message to the beleaguered
government that it was no longer in
controL

Burmese sources said there was
growing nervousness about posa-
ble military action against the strik-
ers. Soldiers went on a rampage of
killin g between Aug. 8 and Aug 12
but have since withdrawn to their
barracks.

U Nu, Burma’s senior political
figure, said most of the army was
not against the people, but he
warned that soldiers might still
shoot if ordered to do so.

The former prime minister
formed a political alliance Monday
that be said could step in to try to
restore order to the country.

The group, the League Tor De-
mocracy and Peace, has scheduled
its first working meeting for Thurs-
day.

U Nu said be would announce at
the meeting whether he would be
willing to act as bead of any interim

government.

Rangoon was disrupted a gain
Wednesday by columns of students
and workers parading through the
streets behind banners demanding
democracy after 26 years of single-
party rule.

The demonstrators were de-
manding an immediate interim
government followed by free elec-
tions. President Mating Mating has
backed a referendum on democra-
cy but has said it must be approved
by an emergency party congress

LOS ANGELES — A Beverly

The S2.5 million settlement was

Dr. Avol. once described by a

saying there is no return to Solidar-

forms, other structures."

One senior party official, the
Central Committee secretary, Wla-
dyslaw Baka, appeared to back up
Mr. Stelmacbowski's interpreta-
tion. Asked about Solidarity’s le-
galization, he replied, “I can’t ex-

and it probably will," though "a
restoration of the Solidarity struc-
ture seems unlikely."

“Conditions have to be created
for labor union pluralism to be-

liberal who was named to the Polit-
buro in June and now supervises
economic policy. “This is a way
that could lead in the future to the
creation of political pluralism.”

Mr. Stdmachowski said further
talks would be necessary in the

roundtable. The negotiations are
supposed to include a range of po-

GRAPEVINE, Texas — A Delta
Air lines 727 jet crashed on takeoff
Wednesday at DaUas-Fort Worth
International Airport and explod-
ed and burned, killing at least 13
people. Airline officials said 94 oth-
ers on board survived.

It was the second crash of a ma-
jor airliner on Wednesday. Earlier
in the day, a Chinese airliner carry-
ing 89 passengers and crew did into
Kowloon Bay as it landed in Hong
Kong, and seven persons died, in-
cluding six crew members.

The Delta plane bad barely
cleared the ground when it went
down, but the cause of the crash
was unclear. Some witnesses said
that the plane, which was bound
for Salt Lake City, had problems
with its tail and that a rear engine
may have been on fire as it tried to
takeoff.

A survivor from the plane said a

wheel appeared to collapse, causing
one of its fuel-filled wings to scrape
on the runway.

An unknown number of people
walked away from the
wreckage, which lay in two
in a field near the runway,
survivors were hospitalized.

“You knew you were going to
crash all the time,” said a survivor,
Penn Waugh, a D allas lawyer.
“You’re just looking for a place to
get out We never got gong. You
could hear this noise. You knew
something was wrong.”

Mr. Waugh said some survivors

crawled out of the right side of the
plane and others climbed through
the roof.

A spokesman for Delta in Atlan-
ta, Jackie Pate, said the flight, by a
15-year-old Boeing 727-200 carry-
ing 97 passengers and a crew of
seven, had originated in Jadcson,
Mississippi. A few infants were also
believed on board but were not
listed as passengers.

Mr. Waugh said the landing gear
appeared to collapse as the plane
taxied into its takeoff.

A spokesman for Delta, Bill Ber-
ry. said at the airline’s Atlanta
headquarters that 13 people had

Mr. Berry said the three pilots
survived the crash, but the captain
suffered a back injury.

Skies were clear and breezes
moderate at the time of the crash.

Witnesses said the left engine ap-
peared to be smoking or on fire as it
was taking off. The jetliner’s front
section turned up and the plane
lifted off briefly, but the tail slid
back down against the ground and
exploded and theen tire jetliner set-
tled to earth and burst into flames.

Mr. Berry said the plane's prox-
imity to the airport probably con-
tributed to “tiie survivability" of
passengers.

He said that the plane came
down about 1.000 feet (300 meters)
from the runway. “This made it
possible for the emergency people
to reach it quite fast,” be said.

■ Plane Skids into Sea

A Chinese jetliner skidded into
the sea shortly after landing in
Hong Kong on Wednesday morn-
ing. killing seven persons and injur-
ing 14, Coleen Geraghty reported
to the International Herald Tri-
bune from Hong Kong.

The majority of the 89 passen-
gers and crew escaped imharwMH
bom the Trident aircraft, which
fractured forward of the entry
door.

Hong Fong aviation officials
were still investigating why the
plane slid off the the runway,
across an adjacent taxiway. and
into Kowloon Bay. It landed in the
midst of a driving rainstorm which,
officials said, had limited visibility
to 3,000 meters.

The dead all held Chinese pass-
port s and were believed to include
six crew members, including the
pilot, and one passenger.

Among the injured were seven
Hong Kong citizens, three Chinese,
two Taiwanese and two Americans.

Rescue teams helped most pas-
sengers escape through the fuse-
lage, but divers had to assist
trapped passengers. A blaze in one
of the engines was extinguished by
fire fighters.

CAAC 301 had taken off from
Guangzhou in southern China for
the 30-minute flight to Hong Kong.
Radio communication between the
pilot and the control tower in Hong
Kong indicated no problems on
board until the landing.

BELFAST — The Irish Republi-
can Army said Wednesday that
three of its members killed a day
earlier by British soldiers were “on
active service," the IRA term for a
guerrilla mission.

The killings by the British were
seen as the start of a tougher British
policy to combat increased IRA
attacks.

Also Wednesday, an exploson in
an apartment in the mainly Roman
Catholic Creggan section of Lon-
donderry killed two persons and
injured a third, according to Lon-
donderry police. The IRA apolo-
gized for the trap that wait “trag-
ically wrong.”

In West Germany, a Stuttgart
radio station reported that two
people believed to be IRA guerril-
las were caught as they tried to
crass the border from the Nether-
lands with guns and explosives.

Authorities confirmed arresting
two men with weapons but did not
say whether they were were IRA
members or had explosives.

Northern Ireland police and the
British Army released few details
of the ambush and killing of the
three IRA guerrillas at Drumnakil-
ly in County Tyrone.

British media reports said com-
mandos of the British Army’s elite
Special Air Services regiment am-
bushed and killed the three men as
they prepared to attack a soldier of
the locally recruited Ulster Defense
Regiment.

The police and army refused to
comment on the reports.

Sinn Fan, the legal political
wing of the outlawed IRA, said
Tuesday that Lhe slain men were
IRA members. It identified them as
Brian Mullen and the brothers Ge-
rard and Martin Harte.

It released a statement Wednes-
day from the IRA's Mid-Ulster
battalion saying the men were
killed while “on active service.”

The prime minister of Ireland,
Charles J. Haughey. called for an
urgent review of the circumstances
of tbe shooting of the three men.

The government’s Northern Ire-
land Office refused to say if tbe
shootings were a result of new secu-
rity measures in the province.

Security forces have denied accu-
sations that they operate a so-
called shoot-to-kill policy, in which
suspects are gunned down without
being given a chance to surrender.

Tbe Belfast bomb was triggered
by an elderly man who climbed
through an apartment window,
worried that the young man living
there had not been seen for several
days, police said.

Washington Past Service

JERUSALEM — Prime Minis-
ter Yitzhak Shamir of Israel basset
oil a political firestorm here by
calling for new rales to make it
easier for Israeli soldiers and Jew-
ish settlers to open fire at Palestin-
ian stone- throwers, a senior aide
confirmed Wednesday night.

Mr. Shamir is said to have en-
dorsed the change at a meeting
Tuesday with a Jewish settler
whose Uzi submachine gun had
been confiscated by police last
week after he opened fire at alleged
stone- throwers at an Arab refugee
near Hebron, in the West
The prime minister was in-
strumental in persuading police to
return the weapon and two others
taken from other settlers after simi-
lar modems.

A senior cabinet minister in the
rival Labor Party denounced Mr.
Shamir’s move as an endorsement
of lawlessness and a “Wild West”
atmosphere in the occupied territo-
ries, scene of nearly nine months of
Palestinian dvQ unrest
And an incident late Wednes-
day, in which an Israeli civilian
near the Jewish settlement of Te-
koa in the West Bank accidentally
wounded two soldiers while alleg-
edly shooting at an Arab gasoline-
bomb thrower, is certain to further
fuel the controversy.

Early Wednesday, Mr. Shamir’s
media adviser, Avi Pazner, denied
that the prime minister had en-
dorsed changing the rules for
shooting. But later Wednesday, an-
other senior aide, Yosef Achkneir,
contradicted Mr. Pazner’s account
and confirmed that Mr. Shamir
had called for the changes.

“What tbe prime minister said,”
Mr. Achimrir said in a telephone
interview, “is that tbe attitude to-
ward those who throw stones has to
be the same as toward those who
throw mokxov cocktails or use
guns and pistols, because stones
can be just as lethal as the others."

Mr. Pazner later explained the
discrepancy by saying he had not
beard the prime minister's state-
ment. But political analysts said the
differing accounts suggested that
Mr. Shamir's office had stumbled
in trying to transmit dual and con-
tradictory messages — one of
toughness to an impatient Israeli
public fearful of the uprising, the
other of reasonableness to Wash-
ington and other foreign observers.

The 70,000 Jewish settlers of the
West Bank and Gaza Strip are a
key pan of Mr. Shamir’s rightist
constituency as Israel approaches
its Nov. 1 parliamentary elections.
They have been increasingly frus-
trated by the army’s inability to
stop the steady flow of stone-
throwing incidents that make their
daily travel hazardous.

The army reports that at least
300 Israeli civilians have been in-
jured and hundreds of cars dam-
aged in some 6,000 stone-throwing
incidents and 1,000 gasoline-bora b
incidents since the violence began
last December.

At tbe same time, scenes of set-
tlers brandishing automatic weap-
ons, setting np illegal roadblocks
and enforcing vigilante-style justice
have been increasingly common on
West Bank roads. At least 15 of the
250 Palestinians killed since the up-
rising bejjjm have been shot by Is-
raeli civilians, and the circum-
stances in several of these incidents
remain unclear. Three Israelis have
also been killed.

The current rules aDow soldiers
and settlers to open fire only if their
lives are dearly endangered. Earlier
in tbe year, the regulations were
expanded to aDow soldiers to auto-
matically shoot at those throwing
gasoline bombs — a move that

brought sharp criticism from the
U-SLStatc Department.

Mr. Shamir's involvement began

when Mishad Cohen, a settler from
Hebron, began a hunger strike out-
side the prime minister’s residence
here to protest the confiscation of

his gun. Mr. Cohen said he had
opened fire last week on stonc-
ihrowers at the Arab refugee camp
who had pelted his car.

But army sources gave a differ-
ent account, saying the rocks had
thrown at a bus in front of
Mr. Cohen and that he had fired
wildly, just missing soldiers in a
nearby observation post. Some se-

nior officers reportedly were !
ous that Mr. Shamir arranged
Mr. Cohen to get tbe weapon bad 7 ?

Tbe policy is assimilation and coex-

When the Armenian majority in

ous enclave in western Azerbaijan,

joined with Armenia, their ethnic
kin in Armenia, Moscow and else-
where took to the streets in sympa-

In Sumgait and Baku, according
to local Armenians, the cause
aroused little excitement except an
occasional loud argument between
neighbors.

“Armenians in Baku and Sumga-
it tend to be quite assimilaied.”
said David Dilanvan. a priest at tbe
Armenian Orthodox church in
Baku who also serves many Arme-

they were afraid of a clash. Many of
them actively opposed the Nagor-

Azerbaijani who. like Mr. Mame-
dov. sheltered Armenian neighbors
during (he troubles.

“When the events began over
Nagorno-Karabakh, we thought
about different places where we
could expect trouble." said Mr.

Gadzhiyev, the party leader, who
was working as a government offi-
cial in the Nakhichevan region of
.Azerbaijan when the trouble be-
gan. “We thought of many places,
but we never thought that some-
thing would happen in Sumgait."

In hindsight, he said, one can see
some simmering discontent in the
city. Sumgait has such a serious
housing shortage that many new-
comers to the city — most of them
.Azerbaijanis — live in shabby
worker hostels or in a crude shanty-
town on the outskirts.

No one quite says so. but - there
are hints that these people looked
with some resentment on the well-
established population of Arme-
nians, many of than merchants
and traders, who lived in better
housing.

Then, early this year, the first
busloads of Azerbaijanis arrived
from the villages of Armenia with
their stories of Armenian abuses.

The buses pulled into the station
on Friendship Street, a shabby
building dressed in peeling green
paint, and disgorged the aggrieved
villagers into the hands of their

Sumgait relatives. A few young
firebrands called few ve n gea n ce. ,

On Feb. 27. after days of mis-'
leading reassurances in the press
that all was calm. Radio Baku
broadcast a report that seemed to
confirm (he worst: Two Azerbai-
janis had been killed m a dash neaj-
Nagorno-Karabakh.

That night a crowd of young
Azerbaijanis went on a window-
smashing rampage.

The next night rioting boiled up
again and spread out from tbe bus
station into streets and the five-
story apartment blocks nearby.

Outside Sumgait itself, that night
has become the stuff of legend. Ar-
menians in Yerevan. Moscow and
the United States insist that huri-
dreds of Armenians were slaugh-
tered and that a cover-up toojLr
place. If so. no one has come fontp
with evidence to prove iL

“Everyone wants to use the case
for his own ends, to throw mud on
the other side,” said Mr. Ismailov,
the prosecutor.

After the riots, the local party
leader, mayor and police chief were
dismissed and expdled from the
party for dereliction of duty.

The city has set up a commission
on ethnic relations, and. according
to city officials, has been given an
emergency grant from Moscow to
build new housing, a hospital and
dubs to ease tbe soda] tensions
that may have contributed to tfv
“events.”

“It's hard to imagine that ir
could happen again,” said Takhir
Mamedov, a 22-year-old Azerbai-
jani factory worker, who was the
only one interviewed who thought
it possible that the riots could be
repeated “But if another group of
extremists tries something against
the Azerbaijani nation, then every-
thing could happen again."

the peak of Mr. Nixon’s troubles
over Watergate-

President Timmy Carter, saying
be believed that no Americans re-
mained alive in Indochina against
their win, emphasized normaliza-
tion of relations with Vietnam and
tbe quiet return of remains. But
after the Vietnamese invaded Cam-
bodia in late 1978, relations were
frozen and the return of bodies
stopped. League membership
dropped to about 7C0 families.

President Ronald Reagan came
to office in 1981 highly critical of
previous administrations for not
doing more about the missing
Americans and apparently con-
vinced that some were stQl alive.

The league’s membership is now
over 3,600, a peak, and Ms. Grif-
fiths herself, as a member of .the
government's POW-M1A Inter-
agency Group, helps to make ad-
ministration policy. She has been a
member of every significant ad-
ministration delegation to Hanoi
since 1982.

The issue of the missing received

new attention in early August when
Vietnam, having agreed to joint
search efforts with tbe United
Slates to by to resolve the most
promising cases, *' temporarily”
suspended such cooperation days
later, charging that the Reagan ad-
ministration “continues to purship
hostile policy against Vfctnam.Trf
was this suspension that was re-
versed Tuesday.

Tbe staled source of Hanoi's dis-
pleasure was congressional testi-
mony by Gaston J. Sigur, tbe assis-
tant secretary of state for East
Asian and Pacific affairs, who op-
posed a resolution urging tbe estab-
lishment of interests sections here
and in Hanoi, the same low level of
diplomatic representation the
United States has with Cuba.

The resolution was the work of
Representative Thomas J. Ridge, a
Pennsylvania Republican and Viet-
nam veteran, and of Senator John
S. McCain 3d, an Arizona Republi-
can who was a prisoner of war in
North Vietnam for six years. Mr.
McCain said be felt diplomatic rep-
resentation would “speed resolu-
tion of the legacies of the war."

struction. But it said that these
measures were “not sufficient ei-
ther to correct the treaty violation
-or to meet U.S. concerns about the
significant impact of the viola-
tion.”

Tbe administration also ac-
knowledged that the Soviet Union
had offered to dismantle the sta-
tion if the United States made
counterconcessions, notably by
suspending its Strategic Defense
Initiative research program.

But the statement described this
demand as “unacceptable." Tbe
United States also accused the So-
viet Union of “illegally" deploying
radar devices at Gomel, which it
said constitutes another violation
of the 1973 treaty.

The warnings constituted an es-
calation of American criticism of
the Krasnoyarsk radar station, ac-
cording to U.S. officials.

NATO diplomats in Geuevea
and military experts said the U.S.
statement appeared to be exagger-

ated and might have been influ-
enced by domestic political calcu-
lations, including the
administration's wish to be seen
taking a firm tine with the Soviet
Union during tbe presidential elec-
tion campaign.

They said Moscow’s decision to
build the radar station in tbe first
place was provocative and raised
unanswered questions about its al-
titude toward theABMTreaty. But
they insisted that the station posed
no military threat, since it does not
work.

However, several of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization dip-
lomats expressed concern that the
Reagan administration might rite
playing up its dispute with the *>•
viet Union over the radar station in
order to justify its determination to
press ahead with research into anti-
missile defense systems in space,

Setback Reported in Parkinson’s Surgery Tests

j Dr. Ignacio Madrazo Nawro says he used strict procedi^

Mexican Doctor
Unlazed by Storm
Over His Research

By Larry Rohter

New York Times Service

]Vyf EX1CO CITY — In his office at La Raza Medical Center, Dr.
-LVA Ignacio Madrazo Navarro sits- alongside stacks of correspon-
dence from around the world. Each letter is a plea from a patient
suffering from Parkinson’s disease, asking Dr. Madrazo for an
operation. Dr. Madrazo’s colleagues are also writing emA talking
about him, though in less than adulatory terms.

Nearly two and a half years after he first transplanted arfrwia!
tissue into the brain of a Parkinson’s patient. Dr. Madrazo is at the
center of a controversy. He is admired by some for his innovation,
but accused by others of exaggerating the benefits mid playing down
the risks of the transplants.

Initially, researchers were enthusiastic when he reported that
gravely ill patients were able to lead near-normal lives after trans-
plants, But medical teams in the United States and Western Europe
have tried the procedure without the success Dr. Madrazo reported.

“We're fed up with his being lionized,” said Judy Rosner, execu-
tive director of the United Parkinson Foundation in Chicago,
reflecting the hard feelings about Dr. Madrazo's reports.

On SepL 12, 1987, in a refinement of the operation. Dr. Madrazo
transplanted tissue from a spontaneously aborted fetus into the
brains of two Parkinson's patients. Many experts hope the proce-
dure will work better than the adrenal transplants. He has subse-
quently performed fetal tissue implants in three more patients.

His assertion of positive results from those operations too is now
being questioned. A Swedish team has reported no benefit for two
patients who received fetal tissue implants there.

Dr. Madrazo said he understands the controversy and is not
surprised. “It’s very much like what we saw after Christiaan Barnard
did the first heart transplant,” Dr. Madrazo said. “Those who got
good results were delighted, and those who did not grumbled. But
after a while, everything finds its JeveL”

Dr. Madrazo asserted that many of the apparent discrepancies in
results can be explained by differences in technique; including the
amount and kind of tissue transplanted.

Medication after surgery has also become an issue in the case of
Nelson Martinez, who in July 1987 became the first American (o
undergo the adrenal operation in Mexico Gty. When he returned to
Los Angeles, doctors urged him to take Sinemet, the drug most of ten
prescribed for Parkinson's. “He almost became paralyzed when he
took it,” said his wife, Martha. “He got stiff, and was shaking
terribly. Bat when he stowed, be was soon back on track again.'’

Dr. Madrazo Said he believed patients become “more sensitive to
medicatiao” after the procedure.

CrITICS assert Hurt Dr. Madrazo's evaluations of patients have
not been sufficiently stringent scientifically to document changes in
their disease; Dr. Madrazo sud that, although he tfid not have access
to PET scan technology, an advanced method of studying brain
activity, he and colleagues strictly Followed established procedures in
rating the severity of the disease, both before and after surgery. He
dismissed suggestions that he has been overoptimistic in asses sing
his patients and that a “placebo effect** accounts for improvements.

Wh3e many American experts have become wary of the adrenal
transplants, one in particular has remained a defender of Dr.
Madrazo. “I examined the first two patients ever operated on, the
ones reported in the New England Journal of Medicme, and there is
no question in my mind that this operation works," said Dr.
Abraham laeberman, professor of neurology at the New York
University Medical Center. “It's not 100 percent, and there are
problems with it, but you can’t say it doesnt wok at all."

Dr. Ucberman, chairman of the medical advisory board of the
American Parkinson’s Disease Association, has also performed the
operation himself.

Studies of the first SO patients to undergo the adrenal transplant
operation in Mexico and of the first 5 to receive fetal tissue implants
are now bong prepared for publication, and Dr. Madrazo said they
should answer manyouestions. “Yes. we have had patients who are
worse off now than wore the operation,” he said. “But that was the
result of surgical complications. Let’s not blame die procedure; in
the face of an implacable progressive disease, the cost-nsk benefit is
very much in favor of the patient."

Among the patients receiving adrenal transplants, tour or ur.
Madmtfs first 14 died, but of the next 36. only one has died. Of the
deaths, the most controversial is that of a patient who had an
epileptic seizure and died of a heart attack. Neurologists at Loma
Linda Univeraity in California said the seizure was probably caused
bv the operation. _ . , __

'Some who have been encouraged by Dr. Madrazo s work argue
that the controversy may be as much about personality and polity
as about purely medical matters. “I know Dr. Madrazo, and regard
him as a pioneering individual, an innovative stageon, and an honest
person," Dr. Licbennan said.

T HE transplant of fetal tissue into the
brain, a daring procedure that many
experts have considered the best hope for
treatment of Parkinson's disease, is yield-
ing disappointing results, say Swedish sci-
entists who have tried the operation on two
patients.

Experts said the repeat was a serious
setback in the search for effective treat-
ment of Parkinson’s, a progressive nerve
disorder that causes tremors, rigidity and
other debiK taring sym ptoms. Still, re-
searchers have not given up.

A Mexican surgeon who has implanted
fetal tissue into five patients has reported
positive results. Although European and
American experts said they were puzzled
by aspects of his initial reports, they said
they would await publication of dentils
before evaluating the claim The Swedes
said they planned further experiments.

Last year, patients and doctors were
dated by reports from the Mexican doctor,
Ignacio Madrazo Navarro, that a related
pioneering procedure, involving trans-
plants of tissue - from a patient’s own adre-
nal gland into the brain, bad achieved
success.

Dr. Madrazo, of La Raza Hospital in
Mexico City, asserts that the adrmal im-

plants helped many of the SQ patients on
whom be has used the method. Many
American doctors, however, after trying
adrenal transplants scores of times without
much success, have all but given up.

Based on animal studies and other evi-
dence, experts have been hoping that im-
plants using tissue from the brain of a
human fetus, rather than adr enal ri gsn ^
would work better. Both methods are in-
tended to spur the brain’s production of
the chemical dopamine, which is believed
to be disrupted in Parkinson's patients.
The adrenal gland produces an almost
identical chemical, and scientists hoped
that its cells would do die sam«» when

£ laced in the malf unctioning area of the
rain.

But the implanting of fetal tissue was
thought u> hold the greatest promise, espe-
cially since fetal cefis are so fast-growmg
and adaptable, and are less likely to pro-
duce an immune response.

Late last year, Swedish scientists at-
tempted the fetal implant surgery in two
patients. Since it takes month* for fetal
cells to grow and start functioning in ani-
mal exper im ents, the researchers ean t i opwd
that they could not say whether the pa-
tients were helped until six months or more
had passed Now, nine months later, the
patients have not improved.

Researchers in the United States, where
about 500,000 people suffer from Parkin-
son’s, expressed disappointment, but most
thought the technique deserved more ex-
ploration. Because it uses tissue from
aborted fetuses, the technique raises ethical
questions that American officials believe
have not been fully addressed: When cans
fetus properly be used, and who has the
right to authorize use of a fetus? The
federal government has stopped paying fnr
research until a committee, scheduled to
meet this faD. provides guideli n e s.

Although animals do not develop Par-
kinson's, researchers can mimic the disease
in animals by destroying their dopantioo-
produdng brain cells. When they do, they
can cure the animate with implants of do-

pamin e- producing cells from fetal brains.

The Swedish researchers, led bv Dr.
OQe Lindvali and Dr. An dors Bjcrkland
of the University erf Lund, are among the
most experienced with tins research. They
have been testing fetal implants in animals
for more than a and they have been

planning since 1984 to operate on people
with severe Parkinson's. They operated
late last year on two women, ages 48
and 55, with severe Parkinson’s disease
They gave their first report in June at a
meeting in Israel and said last week that

their patients' conditions were unchanged.

But Lindvali and Bjorklund said they
would operate mi other patients even if the
first two never show improvement because
the animal experiments are promising and
because the patients who had the operation
are no worse off than before the surgery.

So far. transplants of fetal tissue are
known to have been tried on only a handful
of patients. In addition to Dr. Madrazo's
efforts in Mexico and the experiments in
Sweden, a British team has reportedly tried
the procedure on four patients rinng April
The British researchers, led by Dr. Edward

Hitchcock of Birmingham, reported im-
provement in the patients, accord i n g to
newspaper reports and scientists who Have
spoken with the researchers.

But experts noted that the British group
has not reported its data in a scientific
forum and that . ynlik<- the Swedish i«nn, it
does not have extensive experience; In
particular, experts said they are cautious
about both the Mexican and British reports
that patients improved immediately after
surgery.

Animal experiments indicated that it
should take months before the fetal tissue
grows and secretes chemicals that alleviate
Parkinson's symptoms. Another aspect of
Dr. Madrazo's work that puzzles scientists
is that he used fetal tissue from spontane-

ously aborted fetuses about 13 weeks bid.
Animal studies have indicated that tissue
from fetuses older than nine weeks win not
survive if implanted. Dr. Madrazo assms
that differences in the techniques used may
account for the differing results.

But Dr. UndvalL finding Dr. Madrazo’s
results difficult to understand, said he does
not think (he improvements that Dr. Ma-
drazo saw in the patients were due to the
growth of the fetal tissue in (heir brains.
“One of the most important questions is to
clarify the mechanism" that accounts for
the reported improvements. Dr. Lindvali
said.

Dr. Bjorklund said that, although fetal
implants are more successful in animal
experiments thaw adrenal implants, they
stiu pose technical difficulties. One obsta-
cle is that few fetal cells survive.

The Swedes implanted tissue from four
fetuses in each patient, on the assumption
that the same proportion of cells would
survive in humans as in anfmalB. “Admit-
tedly, that is a range of assumptions," Dr.
Bjorklund said. “If the human brain offers
a less favorable environment, if, say, there
is more bleeding around the implant or
more cells die because of (he age of the
patient or the ongoing disease process,"
tissue from four fetuses may not be
enough.

Human Teeth, Already Small, Shrink Faster Than Ever

NEW YORK (NYT) — Scientists have long known
that human teeth have been getting small er. Now
anthropologists at the University of Michigan have
produced strong evidence identifying the onset of tins
evolutionary trend, establishing the rates of size reduc-
tion and showing that in the last 10,000 years tooth
size on average has been shrinking at twice the rate it
had been for the previous 90,000 years.

The anthropologists said teeth "should continne to

get smaller in future generations as the importance of
large, strong teeth in survival further dimmishes.

In an analysis of mil H one of teeth collected all over
the world in the last 25 years, Dr. G Laring Brace, who
beaded the Michigan study, measured the CTafarps of
molars and incisors from prehistoric and modem hu-
mans. Teeth today, he discovered, are c® average half
the size of those with which Neanderthals chewed raw
mammoth flesh 75,000 to 100.000 years ago.

Drag to Aid Impotent Men Found Safer in Pill Form

NEW YORK (NYT) — Early tests of the pill form
of a drug used to help impotent men achieve an
erection indicate that the pill is safer, more convenient
and just as effective as the injected version, according
to a report in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

The researcher, Dr. Grant Gwinup, found that right
of the 16 impotent men who look the pill and did not

respond to a placebo were able to have intercourse, a
success rate comparable to that of the injections.

Researchers found that the pill form is not strong
enough to cause priapism, which sometimes occurs
with the injected form. Dr. Gwinup said. The drug,
pbemolammc. causes blood vessels to expand. In pul
form, it was once used to treat some adrenal tumors,
but it is no longer manufactured. Dr. Gwinup said.

TALLOIRES

THE PRESIDENTS CONFERENCE

For five days this September,

University Presidents
from all over the globe will gather
at Tufts University’s European Center
in Talloires, France.

Their goal is to develop something essential to the future of humankind— a world-
wide curriculum on arms control, negotiation and conflict management.

From September 12-16, participants will review educational, political and social
forces from their countries and design a curriculum for all.

Media are invited to the Friday, September 16 news conference and presentation
of the Talloires Declaration at 10:00 a.m.

Test Suggests Environment Recovers From Add Rain

WASHINGTON (UPT) — Scientists who used a
roof to did ter a wooded area from arid rain say they
found the environment can stage a remarkable recov-
ery once pollution ceases, at least in some places.

In an effort to gauge the ability of the environment
to rebound, researchers put a dear plastic roof over
about 1,000 square yards (835 square meters) of a
sparsely wooded region in Norway subject to high
levels of arid rain. During the four years of ihar
experiment, the roofed area was “watered" by rain

and snow from which acidic chemicals were removed.

Reporting in the British journal Nature. Richard
Wright of the Norwegian Institute for Water Research
said the experiment found “chemical changes caused by
arid deposition are largely reveraNe." Courtenay Rior-
dan, an arid rain expert with the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency, said the smdy “confirms what a lot of
people have been saying — if you don’t have thick soil
and you do eSrmnate and deposit, you would expect the
water and seal to recover fairly rapidly"

Space Biologist Predicts life on a Moon of Jupiter

SUNNYVALE, California (Reuters) — A space
biologist involved in a study of fife in the universe says
he believes organic compounds, a life form, would be
found on Europa, a moon of the planet Jupiter.

“I will bet my money we will find organic com-
pounds there," Dr. John Oro, an exo-biologist of the
University of Houston, said at a press conference

arranged by the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration. The spacecraft Galileo will be launched'
by NASA in the annunn of 1989 and is expected to-
reach Europa in the mid-1990s. •

Exo-biologists, who study the origins of life, and
sdaitists who plan NASA’s space nnssioos have been
working together at the Ames laboratory near here.

NEW YORK — Prices weakened Wednes-
day in slow trading on the New York Stock
Exchange after the market failed to sustain an
early advance that analysts attributed to a
stronger dollar and bond market.

The Dow Jones industrial average, which
slipped 3.20 points Tuesday, fell 6.58 to dose at

Declines edged oat advances. Volume rose to
about 131 JO million shares from 108.72 million
traded on Tuesday .

The Dow jumped about 12 points in the early
going and then started to turn lower around
midday. It managed to trim a 10-point deficit to
less than two points before a small wave of
piling took place in the final wirnntas-

Broad-market indexes also lost ground. The
New York Stock Exchange index fell 037 to
148.29. Standard & Poor's 500-stock index fell
0.99 to 26 1.52. The priced! an avraage share losj
8 cents.

“The bond market was a little more favorable
as we started the day,” said Jim Andrews, first
vice president in char ge of institutional trading
at Janney Montgomery Scott Inc. in Philadel-
phia.

“In addition, when volume is this light, those
people who hang around are generally a bit
mare positive than those who have decided to
pack it in."

Bui after the opening burst, Mr. Andrews
said, the Dow “ran up against some resistance
at the 2,040 area.”

“At that point, even though some would Eke
to participate, there was no one else around to
keep it going. It tends to Cal! off an its own," Mr.
Andrews sam.

The August “unemployment number on Fri-
day remains the key, Mr. Andrews said. “If it
indicates that the economy is not hearing up, or
is as robust as feared, people should start to
come back with a little better feeling.

“The Fed has already raised rates. And if we
get a sign that the economy is rolling bade; or
even Flattening out, we could get a ™n*et
advance on the order of five to seven percenL
The employment data is dearly the focus now”

Gould was the most active issue, down % to
2214. The stock jumped 7% Tuesday after the
company said it had agreed to be acquired by
Nippon Mining of Tokyo for $2325 a share.

Public Service Enterprise Group fallowed,
unchanged at 23%.

Texas Utilities was third, up VS to 28%.

AT&T was off % to 24%. IBM fell 1% to

111 %.

Among other blue chips. General Hertric
was off % to 40%, Merck was off % to 54%,
American Express was down % to 28% and
Eastman Kodak was off % to 43.

BJr. Goodrich rose 2% to 54. The company
refused c ommen t on rumors that Sir James
Goldsmith was planning a $75-a-share takeover

Prices closed mixed in active t rading on the
American Stock Exchange.

said she wears a lot of clothes
by Chaoo k , a French designer
given to brilliant colors and
.patterns.

No longer slaves to fashion
and no longer concerned
about looking like nwn , execu-
tive women may well snub the

dMfcs that designers have introduced for fall and winter.

» don t w ^ m to 1°°^ intimidating but you don’t want to be

president of Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco. "1 don’t have the
hole gray suit because that- makes you look like someone’s
administrative assistant But I also didn’t buy the short look last
year, and I am not going to wear pants to the office this year.”

Some U.S. retail consultants attributed recent slow sales in
U5. women’s apparel to working women’s boycott of the short
and mini styles.

“American executive women wouldn’t go near a short-short
skirt with a 10-foot pole,” said Kurt Barnard, publisher of the
Retail Marketing Report in New York. “They are no longer
slaves to fashion, and that’s how it should be. fVmld you itwagm^

. a lawyer sta ndin g in front of an American jury in a short skirt? I
pity the client.

“This season,” he added, women executives “will be far freer to
choose whatever they like, returning to just a shade above the
knee to just a shade above the ankle.”

VEN THOSE WOMEN who are baring the executive knee

J1 . in the boardrooms of London and New York still shy away
-I— J from any skirt length that is too short, at least partly
because they are uncomfortable.

Gabrie&a diNora, who heads the Personal Shopping service at
Harvey Nichols, London's high-fashion department store, said,

■_ “Executive women are far more discerning; they are not just
taking what is dictated by fashion."

Just like their male colleagues, however, executive women in
search of their own individual styles still recognize that they have
to take into account the industry they work in, the company's
corporate culture and their positions in the corporate hierarchy.
Some companies frown on any originality in dress and want
executives to stick to what are essentially uniforms. For men in
the Gty of London, for instance, that may mean no loud ties,
striped shirts, wine-colored briefcases or brown shoes. In some
companies, it is blue suits only, in others, gray is preferred.

“If you axe a senior woman, what you don't want to call
attention to is the fact tbdt you are a woman,” said Mrs.
Wegmann of WcDs Fargo- "When yon enter a boardroom meet-
ing you don't want to be tugging away at your skirt, having to be

careful how you sit It takes away from the ability to be taken
seriously,"..

Berit Stokke, a Norwegian corporate lawyer in London, said,
“In business meetings, I fed uncomfortable in a short skirt,
because the wrong thing gets the attention, sol don’t war them.”

Talks to
Maxwell

Macmillan Stock
Falls on Report

Compiled be Our Staff From Dapatcher

NEIW YORK — Macmillan Inc.
said Wednesday it had began talks
with Maxwell Communication
Coup., one erf two bidders for the
company. That depressed Macmil-
lan’s stock price as investors appar-
ently saw reduced chances of a
fight for control of the publishing
and information concern.

Macmillan’s stock closed at $82
a share Wedneday on the New
York Stock Exchange, down $1 .625
for the day.

Macmillan has rejected an $80-
per-share, $2.1 billion offer from
Maxwell and a $75-per-sharc bid
by Robert M. Bass Group.

After Bass made a $64-a-share
bad in May, Macmillan announced
a restructuring plan (hat would
split the company into two parts,
one for traditional publishing and
the other for information activities,
and would pay a special dividend
oS at least $3235 per share.

In a filing with the Securities and
Exchange Co mmission, Macmillan
said a meeting took place Tuesday
between Edward P. Evans, its chair-
man, and Robert Maxwell, the pub-
lishing ma gnate as well as other
representatives of both companies.

Information with respect to the
company as a whole and the com-
ponents of the information services
group has been provided to Max-
well Co m m um caiion, " Macmillan

ffid in its filing

The meeting took place at the
London offices of Maxwell Com-
munication. Maxwell said on
Wednesday that further meetings
are planned in the United States.

Mr. Maxwell said his company
might settle for the information
services operations. “Our current
intention is to acquire it all But if
the management prefers to seQ only
the information side, then if we can
agree on price, we would certainly
be prepared to look at it”

Analysts said the decline in the
stock price indicated the market
believed Maxwell would reach an
agreement with Macmillan, reduc-
ing the chances that the U-S. pub-
lisher would search for a friendly
bidder at a higher price.

Nigeria Refines Its Oil Industry

$800 Million Plant Only First Step in Diversification

By James Brooke

New York Tima Service
PORT HARCOURT. Nigeria
— A ghttermg new <rfl refinery
here, the largest and most effi-
cient in blade Africa, represents
Nigeria’s latest stop away from
crude oil exports.

With this $800 Japa-
nese-designed complex in the
heart of the Niger River delta,
Nigeria will join a growing list of
oil producers that export refined
products.

“We will be able to service the
monthly needs of West Africa in
three days,” said Alex O. Oge-
degbe, project manager for the

refinery. It a owned by the Nige-
rian National Petroleum Carp., a
government concem.

For Nigeria, diversification fol-

sales, which account for 95 per-
cent of its foreign exchange,
dropped to $6 Union in 1987
from a peak of $25 bSBan in 1 980 l
T he refinery, which is to begin
operating early next year, is the
first of a series of diversification
moves. Also planned:

• A $2 billion to $3 billion
project to supply 4 percent of
Europe's liquefied natural gas by
1 995. Natural gas, usually a mix-
ture of methane, ethane, propane
and butane, is used in producing
chemicals, fuel, paper, glass and
metals. Liquefied gas is gas

• A $900 million project to
produce 100.000 barrels a day of
condensate that is exempt from
production quotas of the Organi-
zation of Petroleum Exporting

is extracted, coded and con-
densed; OPEC is unsure how to
define it.

• An 5800 milli on petrochem-
ical complex to produce polyeth-
ylene and polypropylene — used

EC Slaps Penally
On VCRs Made
In Korea, Japan

Agence Franco-Prate

BRUSSELS — The European
Community on Wednesday im-
posed antidumping duties on all
video-cassette recorders imported
from Sooth Korea and those sold
by two Japanese companies.

The action, the latest in a series
of antidumping measures that the
EC has taken against Asian compa-
nies, will affect imports that in
1987 had a retail value of at least
$13 billion and r e pre sented nearly
a third of the EC market for VCRs.

The European Commissioa, the
ECs executive body, announced
provisional duties ranging from
253 percent to 293 percent per
unit against Daewoo, Goldstar and
Samsung which manufacture all
the South Korean-made VCRs sold
in die community, and of 18 per-
cent against Funai Ltd. and Orion
Ltd. of Japan.

The dunes, the commission said,
represented the difference between
the estimated “normal value” of
the product and the export price in
the community. The provisional
duties are valid for four months,
during which the ECs member
countries must decide at ministerial
level whether to modify or extend
them.

Under an EC directive, or law.
announced July 12, antidumping
levies most be added to the retail
price of the product Previously,
Asian companies had absorbed EC
antidumping duties in order to pre-
serve their market share.

After a one-year inquiry, insti-
gated by a complaint filed by Euro-
pean electronics companies, the
commission said it haa found that
“all the com panies concerned were
practicing dumping” on a level that
was “particularly spectacular.”

In 1985, VCR imports from the
three Korean companies totaled
75,000. Rat in 1986 they jumped to

425.000 and, last year, trebled in
volume to 1,224,000 units. Funai
and Orion, for their part, sold

466.000 VCRs in 1985, 991,000 in
1986 and, for the first right months
of 1987, sold 782JQQQ units, accotd-

to EC figures.

terms or market share, the EC

T

said, the Korean companies had 13
percent in 1985, which rose to 6.1
percent in 1986 and to 153 percent
in 1987. The two Japanese compa-
nies had 5.1 percent of the market
in 1984, 7.6 percent in 1985 and
133 percent m 1986. In addition,
the commission said, Funai and
Orion imparted “substantial quan-
tities” of their VCRs through third
countries.

Although the European VCR in-
dustry also grew during that peri-
od, its market share had progres-
sively declined and its profit
margins were eroded because of the
unfair pricing practices erf the five
Asian companies, the commission
said.

The primary European makers
of VCRs include NV Philips of the
Netherlands, Grundig AG and
AEG AG, both of West Germany,
Thomson of France and Ferguson
PLC of Britain.

The co mmissi on said it was “in
the community^ interest to impose
provisional antid umping duties in
order to prevent the video-cassette
industry, and the thousands of jobs
connected with it, from being
threatened.”

An off] rial with one of the mem-
ber companies of the Milan-based
European Association of Consum-
er Electronics Manufacturers,
which filed the complaint, said the
average retail price of a VCR in
Europe was about $550. The com-
mission said the duties, per unit,
were 293 percent for Daewoo, 26.4
percent for Goldstar and 253 per
cent for Samsung.

The EC previously has taken an-
tidumping action against ffafowi
products from Japan and South
Korea that ranged from daisy-
wheel computer printers to ball
bearings and construction machin-
ery. It also opened a “second front”
this year by imposing duties on
products that axe assembled in Jap-
anese-owned plants in Europe
from components manufactured in
Japan. Japan has complained
about the duties to the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

TOKYO — ■ Housing construction in Ja-
pan, one of the jwgor driving forces behind
its economy, declined in July, interrupting a
27-month upward trend, the government
said Wednesday.

Economists, however, said the fall in hous-
ing starts was expected and did not portend a
halt to Japan's growth because consumers
and corporations are still on buying sprees.

“Consumer spending growth may be slow-
ing, but demand still is at very high levels,”
sard Richard Jerram, an economist at Klrin-
wort Benson International Inc.

Housing starts in Japan slipped 1.9 per-
cent in July from a year earlier to 151,617,
mainly doe to a 10.9 percent drop in con-
struction of private homes and a 3.0 percent
fall in rental housing.

Private and rental units jointly account for

more than 8Q percent of the housing starts in
Japan.

An official at the Construction Ministry
played down the decline, noting that July’s
construction of new homes compares with a
very high 3evd last year.

On Tuesday, Japan also reported output at
its factories and mines slowed in July from
its recent fast growth.

But several economists dismissed the idea
that this data holds negative implications far
the economy because they believed the up-
ward trend in industrial output remained
strong

Industrial production eased 0.7 percent in
July from the previous month, compared
with a 33 parent jump in Jana

However, industrial output rose 8 X) per-
cent in July from a year earher, and David
Pike, an economist at UBS Phillips & Drew
International LtcL, noted the pace of increase

Is slipping from a recent peak in February of
12.4 percent But he said he saw the dedine
as favorable. “The problem for the economy
is whether it will slow down to a more sus-
tainable growth rate,” Mr. Pike said.

Many economists agreed that the econo-
my m ay be growing too fast and inviting
unwanted inflation.

Kazutoshi Habamura of Nikko Research
Center Ltd. said a more appropriate year-on-
year growth rate for industrial output would
be 4 percent to 6 percent He said a high rate
of production creates supply problems for
raw materials such as steel and chemicals,
which can trigger hi g h er prices for manufac-
tured goods.

Mr. me said inflationary problems might
also develop in the service and coos traction
industries, which together make up a largo:
portion of the economy than manufacturing

Recent consumer prices for services, for

example, have been growing at around a 2
percent rale, wink these for manufacturing
have fallen or risen only slightly, he said.

Costs of services are largely affected by
wages, and a tight labor market has been
helping drive these op. economists said.

Unemployment in July, also announced
on Tuesday, was a seasonally adjusted 23
percent, up slightly from a five-year low of
2 A percent the previous month. But the job
offers-to-appheants ratio rose in July to 1 .(3,
its highest level in 14 years.

The ratio indicates that there were 109 job
offers for every 100 applications and that
these is a tendency far businesses to pay
higher wages to secure qualified workers.

Economists said if there are any signs (hat
inflation is setting in, the Bank of Japan
would rush to tighten its reins on monetary
policy. But most said they did not see a need
for the central bank to boost interest rates.

ROME — Banca Commerciale
Italians SpA, having withdrawn hs
bid for living Bank Coxp- of New
York, “will concentrate on expan-
sion” within the European bankin g
industry, BCFs managing director
said Wednesday.

“Obviously we wanted to win the
battle, but Irving is not the only
target around,” said the BO offi-
cial, Mario ArcarL “There are otto
opportunities, indnding in Europe.

“In fact,” Mr. Aicari told the
Milan financial daily Italia OggL
without giving details, “we are very
interested in Europe.”

BCI already has a 55 percent
stake in Socretb Europfceime de
Basque SA of Luxembourg and a
48 percent stake in the Pans-based
Basque Sudameris. It also owns a
Swiss subsidiary, Banca Commer-
riale Italians (Suisse).

But even though BQ is Italy’s
second-largest bank in terms of de-
posits, it is email by international
standards, rating 61st in Fortune
:’s latest table of world

Source: Ha titan.

Still, analysts said, BCI, because
of its rdativdy laige size and prof-
its, is in a stronger position than
many erf its Italian rivals to expand
isao Europe ahead of the 1992 date
set for the formation of a angle
European Community market.

While profits in much of the
banking sector declined last year,
partly because of the stock market
collapse, BCTs net profits rose to
314.4 billion hze ($226 nriDkai)
from 289.6 billion in 1986.

Mr. Arcari, who returned empty-
handed from New York last week
after meetings with Irving and offi-
cials of the U-S. Federal Reserve
Board, ■ | »iH the Irving bid not
cost BQ money, because bills re-
lating to tbe takeover attempt were

being met by Irving.

The Mian bank dropped its bid
for Irving because of a ruling, made
by the Federal Reserve Board, that
BCI’s parent, tbe state-owned
holding company Istituto per la
Riscostnmone Indusmale, also
needed to file an application for
pennisoem to buy Irvmg.

But Guido Bngnone, president

of the Italian Financial Analysts*
Association, said Wednesday that
financial, as well as strategic, con-
siderations may have played a pint
in BCTs decision to withdraw its |
offer.

“I am not sure BCI had a precise
strategy for expansion in the U3-, r
be said, noting that the Irving bid
came soon after BCI sold Long
Island Trust Co. “It seems to me

stem would be more plausible.'

Other analysts said that the price
BCI would have had to pay for the i
Irving takeover was much higher

than originally envisioned, because

of the recent gain in the dollar.

“With the dollar at around 1,400
lire, BCTs commitment was bo-
coming heavy,” an Italian bank
economist said.

BCFs initial bid in late April of
$65 a share for about 51 percent of
Irving’s stock, was valued at about
$600 mllioiL The final bid of $80 a
share, in late May, was put at al-
most $760 milli on by BGL But
since, the dollar has risen by about
10 percent against the lira.

By Bany James

International Herald Tribune

an undersized motor tint was mice considered as

SEATTLE — The Washington Public Power
Supply System has admitted that it is obliged to
repay the holders of $225 billion of bonds that
it sold to finance two nuclear power plants and
that it has defaulted on, a spokesman said, but
little money is expected to be paid to the inves-

The system, a consortium of public utilities in
the Pacific Northwest defaulted on its bonds in
1983, the largest default in U.S. municipal bond
history. The plants were canceled after the re-

Canadian Senate Vows

the legislation in a vote late Wednesday. Bnt the
Liberal-dominated Senate, which has the power
to amend or kill the legislation, agreed to a
request from the liberal Party leader, John
Turner, to delay its vote until after a general
election.

The agreement, which must be ratified by the
U.S. Congress and the Canadian Parliament
before it takes effect Jan. 1. would eliminate
most tariffs on cross-border trade over a 10 -
year period. Congress is expected to complete

gkm found it had built far more dectrio-gcner-
ating capacity than it needed. The utilities con-
tended that they should not have entered into
the contracts to repay the bonds.

Trial in the fraud and misrepresentation case
is to begin Sept. 7 in Tucson, Arizona. Remain-
ing defendants include 19 public utilities in
Washington, three engineering linns and a fi-
nancial adviser to WPPSS.

A WPPSS spokesman, John Britton, said by
telephone from Richland, Washington, that the
tentative settlement was reached late Tuesday.

He said the plaintiff bondholders had agreed
to dismiss all claims against WPPSS based on
securities fraud, misrepresentation and viola-
tion of state law.

In exchange, "We're not going to contest that
we have an obligation to repay the bonds," said
Mr. Britton.

The agreement apparently means that while
there will be little or no money involved,
WPPSS would not contest any money that
might be paid into an account for the two
terminated plants.

Details of the agreement were being withheld
pending a formal announcement from the fed-
eral court in Tucson, which has jurisdiction over
the case.

The court derk, Elaine Williams, said there
were no announcements from the court regard-
inga settlement.

“Well, it’s not a done deal,” said Paul Bern-
stein, attorney for bondholders who have al-
leged they were defrauded when they bought
the bonds.

Chemical Bank, a plaintiff as trustee for
bondholders in the case, has had control of the
WPPSS account since the default occurred.

Mr. Britton said no insurance money was
involved in the agreement. He also said the
agreement must be approved by the WPPSS
executive board, which has scheduled a special
meeting Friday in Richland.

Mr. Britton said the tentative settlement
would ask U.S. Distric t Co urt Judge William
Browning to sever WPPSS from the suit and
stay any proceedings against the supply system.

Hachette Plans to Purchase
Stake in Spanish Publisher

Cemptkiiby Our Staff From Duptuehes

PARIS — Hachette SA, the world's fourth-Iargest communica-
tions company, will continue its expansion abroad by purchasing a
majority stake in Sal vat, a Spanish publishing bouse, for about 350
million francs ($552 milli on).

In a statement, Hachette said the agreement was reached after a
year of negotiations and must still be approved by Spanish authori-
ties. Sal vat had annual sales equivalent to 800 million francs in 1987.

Salvai, Spain's fifth-laigest publisher, publishes booklets, encyclo-
pedias, dictionaries and medical texts, and has its own distribution
network. The stake purchase includes about 60 percent of Salvafs
assets, but the transaction does not include its two priming plants,
Hachette said.

The purchase would extend Hachette’s buying spree this year. In
June, a subsidiary of Hachette paid $712 mflfioa foe Diamandis

Volvo’s Chief Executive Predicts Growth in Demand for Autos Will Stott

Rouen

_GOTEBORG, Sweden — Volvo AB’s
chief caneonm. Pefar G. GyUenhammar, said
that he sees world demand for care leveling
or even declining soon. But he added that
diversification would hdp his company ride
out such a downturn. ' —

"The world car market has been so cxccp-
nonally strong for several consecutive years
now that we are bound to have a levdHflg off,
if not a decline,” he said Tuesday.

He was speaking after the Swedish motor,
energy and food group published record sec-
ond-quarter profit after financial items of
2.44 billion kronor ($375 million), up 7 per-
cent from the corresponding year-earlier pe-
riod.

He also said Vcdvo had, for the time being,
abandoned plans for a major overseas acqui-
sition by its food division.

“Some of the prices that have been offered
for medium-sized and even small companies
have been such that we would not have been
able to show a return, not even after five
years," be said.

Mr. GyUenhammar criticized Japanese
carmakers for taking advantage of Sweden's
open market while refusing to give Sw edish 1
companies equal access to Japan.

“The Japanese woe exploiting the Swed-
ish market because it was the only auiomo-
live market left in the world that has not even '
bad discussions with the Japanese about
their behavior.” he said.

Mr. GyUenhammar said a restructuring
program over the past five years, during
which time Volvo's truck, food, aerospace
and other subsidiaries had been built up to
account for more than 40 percent of earn-
ings, had made the company relatively im-
mune to fluctuations in the car industry.

“It was very important to see that we woe
not upset by major disasters in any one
sector. Now, with stiB-good car profits, we
can see we have a nice balance,” he said.

Volvo cars had lost some market share in
North America because of the decline of the
U.S. dollar in recent years, he said, but he
added that the business remained profitable..

“With the dollar where it is today, we still
have very decent margins,” he said.

ABB Posts $260 Million First-Hall Profit

Noting that the most dramatic recent de-
velopment for Volvo has been growth in
truck sales, he said the company would con-
tinue to increase capacity slowly and switch
emphasis to heavier trucks.

He said he saw great potential in Volvo’s
acquisition earlier this year of Britain’s Ley-
land Bus Group Ltd.

“The Ley land acquisition was just right
for us. We now have the potential to double
our market share in Western Europe from 10
to 20 percent.” he said.

He said that a new car assembly plant at.
UddevaQa, due to open soon, would increase
car output by 50,000 to 60,000 units a year,
or 12 percent to 14 percent.

STOCKHOLM — Asea Brown
Boveri, the Swedisb-Swiss engi-
neering and electronics giant, said
Wednesday that net profit in the
first half of 1988 totaled $260 mil-
lion.

Sales in the first half totaled S8j
billion.

The results were generally in line
with analysts' expectations.

ABB was formed through the
merger of Europe’s two biggest
heavy engineering concerns, Asea
AB of Sweden and BBC Brown
Boveri & Compagnie of Switzer-
land. The merger into a company
with 1 80,000 employees took meet

ABB's first-half results bad been
awaited by analysts as the first real
indication of how the merger was
proceeding.

The company did not provide
year-earlier comparison statistics.

In a statement accompanying the
results, Percy Barnevik, the group
chief executive, said, “The merger
has developed in a very encourag-
ing way.”

“The merger’s first part with or-
ganizational and strategic deci-
sions, is now largely behind us,” be
said. “The ongoing restructuring
programs entail a strengthening of
ABB’s cxnnpetitivejiess with lower
production and distribution costs.”

Asea management really gets work-
ing on it," she added. “But it will be
a long job.”

The company said it exported a
better second half and a big im-
provement next year as the benefits
of restructuring take effect It did
not estimate profits for the full
year.

Mr. Barnevik, who was president

of Asea AB before the merger, is
credited with transformin g the con-
cern from a steeping giant into one
of Sweden’s most aggressive com-
panies. •

“From a gradually improving
competitive and profit position,
ABB mil fulfill the possibilities of
expansion in line with our chosen
strategy," he said.

SOLEX: Demise of a Contraption

s. Asea J *

(Continued from first finance page)
ibe student 1960s, when to ride one,
according to the French daily Le
Monde, was considered rather pure,
rather poetic and rather disconnected
from the cares of the 20th century.

But from a peak of 380,000 in
1964, production of the Solex de-
clined to just 2,700 last year. To-
day’s students prefer something
jazzier, fasw and noisier, something

Maty Foster, an anal
Ark Securities, said, “They are
moving in the right direction, bat
it's hard to say much about the
half-year results.”

The earnings results could “look
much better in the long term when

lalyst with
“They are

jazzier, fasw and noisier, something
with more presence. And relative
affluence mgapq that older users can
now afford cars: The Solex sells
mainly to sentimentalists and the
resducetv old-fashioned.

It is the second symbol of post-
war France to bow out this year. In
February, the Gtrohv subsidiary of
Peugeot SA dosed the French pro-
duction line of the Deux Chema
car, which, in its way, was as uncom-
promisingly ugly and practical as
the Solex.

Takashi Ueoka, marketing direc-
tor fen: MBK. said tire company had
to loll off the Solex as a means of
returning to profitability and mak-
ing better use of factory apace at
Samt Quentin in northern France.

“It has been very useful and well
used,” be stud of the Solex. “It sold
in 40 countries, particularly Africa
and nearly all or Europe.”

But it is not making enough
money for the company, of which
Yamaha acquired an 80 percent,
share as a means of positioning
itself in the European Community.

MBK, formerly Motobfccane,
said it decided to relinquish the
Solex “with much regret.’’

Its Saint Quentin factory, which
employs 1,200 workers, will pro-
duce outboard motors and engines
for Yamaha 125cc motorcycles.

When the last Solex leaves tire
facioiy, Le Monde said, many
Frenchmen and women will lose a
tittle bit of their youth.

“Tears of nostalgia come to my
eyes,” said Michele Cotta, news di-
rector for the TF1 television chan-
nel. “This mode of locomotion
evokes happy times.”

But all may not be lost. Accord-
ing to the newspaper Liberation,
tire Chinese government has ap-
proached MBK Industrie about
building the Solex under license.

has the highest priority.

A plant to produce the liquefied
gas, to be about 35 mfles (56 kilo-
meters) from Port Haroourt, at the
mouth of the Bonny River, would
be blade Africa’s largest construc-
tion project of the early 1990s.

Nigeria's natural gas reserves are
estimated at 100 trillion cubic feet
(2.83 trillion cubic meters). Most of
the gas, which comes to the surface
dissolved in the ofl, is burned now
because it is too expensive to trans-
port and process.

The plant would have enough
capacity to produce 4.6 million
tons (4.1 metric tons) of liquefied
natural gas a year.

The state oil company would
have 60 percent equity, and minor-
ity shares would be held by the

three suppliers of gas. Royal
Dutch-Shell Group and two other
state-run companies, Elf Aquitaine
of France ana Agip SpA of Italy.

This is at least tire third time
since independence from Britain in
I960 that Nigeria has talked of
building a liquefied gas plant. But
this time (here are indications that
the task will be accomplished.

Earlier this year. Shell took an
option to buy two tankers necessary
to transport tire gas. In May, Mr.
Lukman met in Britain with poten-
tial European buyers.

Five companies made commit-
ments to negotiate sales agreements,
Nigerian oil company officials said.
Those agreements will be essential
to winning international financing.

To help pay for the plant, Nige-
ria puts the money from sales of
20,000 barrels of oil a day into an
escrow account This account is be-
lieved to hold about $300 million

Backers of the project predicted
that European consumers will want
to buy Nigerian gas to diversify

their sources of supply. West Ger-
many, for example, ires restricted
gas imports from the Soviet Union
to 30 percent erf West German con-
sumption.

The other major gas project is a
225-mile, Escravos-to-Lagos pipe-
line that will fee£a 1 320-megawatt
power plant at Egbin. Due far com-
pletion in October, it is bring built
by two Italian contractors, Saipan
SpA and Snamprogetti SpA

In June, a STO-rmllion gas cofleo-
tion and processing plant was fin-
ished at Otorogu. A joint venture of
the stale oil company and ffidL, it is
to feed the Escravos pipeline.

In another attempt to recover
wasted gas, a West German compa-
ny, Liquid Gas Investitions & Han-
dds, signed a $23 milliaa contract in
June to buy and process 250JXX)
tons of gas produced by offshore
wells. The company will anchor two
gas processing shrps near the writs.

In the oil sector, Mobil Corp.'s
$900 million four-year condensate
project would be the largest petro-

leum investment in Nigeria since
the 1970s. With a planned output
of 100,000 barrels a day, it conkl
bring in $550 million a year in for-
eign exchange.

But financing for Nigerian pro-
jects is often difficult Lagos has
tire largest foreign debt in Africa,
about $27 billion, and this year’s
debt service of $6 billion is roughly
equal to oil earnings.

For the condensate project, Al-
fred K. Koch, chairman of Mobil
Producing Nigeria, said partial fi-
nancing by the World Bank seemed
certain. He said he hoped that gov-
ernment export agencies and com-
mercial banks would follow suit
The World Bank also is expected
to partly finan ce the $800 million
petrochemical complex, now in tire
bidding stage. Du Pont Co. report-
edly has agreed to provide technol-
ogy, training and marketing assis- '
tance for the plant
But financing problems delayed

ACQUIRED TRAITS: Memoirs of a
Geneticist From the Soviet Union

Reviewed by Valery N. Soyfer

D URING the 1960s in the popular Soviet
science magazine Knowledge is
Strength, articles by one Raissa Berg were
published. They attracted general anenbem.
For years genetics as science had been banned
in the Soviet Union. Suddenly, in h« articles,
the laws of genetics — for decades hidden rrom
public view and damned as “the mercenary
whore of imperialism” — came to life. The
pieces were written in a misciuevou^allegon-
eal form, stirring the imagination. They had
naughty titles, like “What’s the Deference Be-
tween a Cat and a Dog?” and “Why Does the
Hen Not Suffer From Jealousy?"

Abruptly, however, the name of the author,
who had so caught the fancy of her readers,
disappeared from Soviet jourmdism. Berg had
signed letters in support of the exiled poet
Joseph Brodsky. She had petitioned thegovern-
ment to reject capital pu n is hmen t. She was
compelled to emigrate to the United Slates.

In 1983 she published a book of memoirs
with a Russian-language publisher in New
York. The English version now appears, with
four chapters that were not in tne Russian
version.

There was a liveried doorman at the elevator.

Ha fatha was the scientist Lev Berg, who
had acquired an international reputation for
his book “Nomogenesis," in which he pro-
posed a non-Darwinian theory of evolution.
From childhood, she was surrounded by the
intellectual elite. She studied under the best
biologists and worked with NJ. Vavilov, the
director of the Academy of Sciences Institute
of Genetics, and with Hermann J. Muller, the
American geneticist who went to Russia to
build socialism and who later received a Nobel
Prize. Berg writes with great sympathy of her
teachers and scientific colleagues, as well as her

The Real Action Is Close to Home

i By Sally Jenkins

Washington Past Service

WASHINGTON — College football is al-
ways about geography, but this season may be
unusually affected by parochial issues.

A state championship between preseason fa-
vorite Florida State and defe nding na tional
U'tiest Miami could decide everything; a cross-
town game between USC and UCLA is signifi-
cant in the Hdsman Trophy discussion.

Florida State is the preseason No. 1 choice by
every conceivable poll, on the strength of re-
turning talent and last season's 26-25 loss to
Miami, when the Seminoles came within a
failed two-point conversion of the national
championship. The rematch is almost too soon
— Saturday in the Orange Bowl — but new
.Lining quarterback Chip Ferguson summed
■ lip the feeling of predestination at FSTJ when he
said. “If we’re going to end up there, we might
as well start there.”

UCLA's Troy Aikman and Rodney Peete of
Southern Cal are the country’s glamour quarter-
backs, two strapping guys who hold the hopes of
their teams in their arms. They have been photo-
graphed, examined and compared so often that
Peete says, “We should be roommates.”

In the Big Ten. Iowa and Michigan are presea-
son top- five in some pods, causing John Cooper,
Ohio State’s first year coach, to remark: “Yeah,
Fvt seen them and i can’t sleep at night” Once
again the Southeast may have more talent than
any other region, but wiD be bled slowly by its
impossible rivalries. “We do beat up on each
other,” said Alabama Coach BQl Curry.

There is perhaps no team in the country that
j&iches for a national championship more than
^Nebraska, which has been in the lop 10 every
season save one since 1971 but hasn’t won a
title during that span. This could finally be the
Comhuskers' year, but Gist they must do two
things — overcome the inferiority complex per-
petuated by Oklahoma, and win the Big Eight.
They also must stop doing things like aiiempt-
ingjusi 14 passes against Florida State, which
beat them by 31-28 m the Fiesta BowL

The Comhuskers started quickly, beating
Texas A&M 23-14, in last weekend's Kickoff

Classic. There are just five starters back on
offense, but one is quarterback Steve Taylor
and another is die fleet wide-out, Dana Brin-
son. The defensive interior bad to be rebuilt,
and while Nebraska can haul more corn-fed
linemen out of the weight room, they will be

young ones. Good linebacking helps, in the
form of all-America Broderick Thomas.

“I think right now on paper this figures to be
a good team?’ Coach Tom Osborne said.

As usual. Nebraska's fortunes are inter-
twined with Oklahoma, which it hasn't beaten
in four years. There is no telling what will
happen io the Sooners — with quarterback
Jamelle Holieway questionable after major re-
constructive knee sureery. la seething contro-
versy over former linebacker Brian Bosworth's
snitch-and-tell book and an NCAA inquiry that
may conclude this fall But as Coach Barry
Switzer says. “We're not going to disappear
from the face of the earth.”

There has also been much languishing in the
Big Ten. where no team has won a national title
since Oltio State in 1968. So why should this
season be any different from the other slow
fades?

For one, Michigan's Bo Schembechler is
whispering that these Wolverines could be his
best ever, a boast founded on nine returning
offensive starters, even if quarterback Demetri-
us Brown threw 16 interceptions (and just 10
touchdowns) last season and Jamie Morris is
gone. Early meetings with Miami and Notre
Dame will tell all and so will a meeting with
Iowa, which has Chuck Hartlieb, who threw for
more than 300 yards five times last season.
Since Cooper probably can’t resurect Ohio
State overnight, Iowa Coach Hayden Fry says,
“If there is still a big two in the Big Ten, we
must be one of them.”

There is certainly a Big Two in ihe Pac-10.
where USC and UCLA will in all probability
deride the conference title and maybe even the
Heis man on Nov. 19. The best team in Los
Angeles appears to be USC with a luxurious 15

starters and 34 of 44 players returning for
Coach Larry Smith’s second season, which be-
speaks a title run. “It's a basic part of our
program goal,” Smith asserted. The Bruins are
harder to figure, since they must replace 13
starters from last year’s 10-2 team that won its
sixth straight bowl (albeit the Aloha).

The reckoning between Peete and Aikman
may be precipitous, but Peete bolds 12 USC
passing records (197 completions for 2.709
yards, 21 touchdowns and just nine sacks) and
Aikman is the probable first pick in ihe next
National Football League draft (178 comple-
tions for 2,527 yards. 17 touchdowns.).

"Just because we live in the same city every-
body makes it a big deal” Aikman said. “Hope-
fully it will be."

In the Southwest, only Texas under second-
year Coach David McWilliams appears to
stand in the way of a fourth consecutive title for
Texas A&M. The Aggies have 13 starters left
from the Cotton BowTteam that whipped Notre
Dame, and are apparently impervious to an
ongoing NCAA investigation. But their nation-
al championship aspirations must contend with
a schedule that started with Nebraska and in-
cludes Alabama. LSU and Oklahoma State.

Absolutely nothin g is clear in the Southeast,
where there will be a free-for-all among six
possible bowl teams. Auburn has an able new
quarterback In Reggie Slack, who replaced Jeff
Burger. At Alabama. Curry has a multitude of
talent but also worries — tailback Bobby Hum-
phrey. a Heis man candidate, had his jaw bro-
ken by a tire iron outside a bar this summer, but
should be ready. LSU has a Heisman caliber
quarterback in Tom Hodson. Florida has half-
back Emmiti Smith, Tennessee a powerful
combination in Jeff Francis and Reggie Cobb,
and Georgia a grand total of four big yardage
h acks , although two are sweating academic
problems. No school has a prayer of escaping
this jumbled conference unscarred.

The Atlantic Coast is a one-team affair, with
Oemson's IS returning starters a given to take a
third straight title. The Tigers should also rank
in the top five, if their conservative offense

University of Nebraska players, at a practice at the Meadowlands in New Jersey before last weekend’s season-opener against Texas A&M.

doesn’t stifle them. Quarterback Rodney Wil-
liams can pass when be has to. and the defense
is universally respected. But Clemson will learn
early whether it can go undefeated; it hosts
Florida State on SepL 17.

Florida State doesn’t differ greatly from last
year’s second-ranked team. Massive talent re-
turns in 13 starters, and Heisman candidate
Sammie Smith may be the purest running back
in the country, having gained 1.230 yards last
season while sharing time. Defensively six start-
ers return, including all-America corner back
Deion Sanders.

If the Seminoles can get past the early games

against Miami and Clemson, nothing should
prevent them from being No. 1 at the end of the
season. “The element of surprise is the greatest
advantage you can have, and we forfeited that
by being picked No. I,” said Coach Bobby
Bowden. “On the other hand, that's what we’re
striving for.”

Among the other independents, West Virgin-
ia. Syracuse and P itts b urgh should figure in the
polls, while Penn State will make its annual
progress into a top 10 team if Heisman con-
tender Blair Thomas, a tailback, recovers from
knee surgery. Notre Dame's striking improve-
ment under Lou Holtz should continue with

'nimble quarterback Tony Rice and converted
tailback in Ricky Watters replacing Heisman
winner Tim Brown at Dankaback. “Last year
we readied the point where we could win,”
Holtz said. “This year we most reach the poinL
where we expect to win."

A contender not to be overlooked is Miami
despite the loss of 16 players to the NFL. That
doesn’t trouble coach Jimmy Johnson, who has
16 more to replace them and has a ruthlessly
accurate quarterback in Steve Walsh. “We wfl]
surprise people;” said Johnson, whose Hum-
canes have played for the national title three of
the last five years.

"You could see she was intimi-
dated,*' said Graf, who has won 29
matches in a row. “Sometimes she
didn’t even know the score or that
it was her turn to serve.”

■ Third-seeded Chris Evert made
history by playing m her 18th
' straight Open.

l Evert a six-time Open winner,
tied the women's record for consec-
utive U.S. Open championships
played when she beat Conduta
’ Martinez of Spain, 64, 6-1.

This tournament means a lot of
memories and history to me,” said
Evert, who equaled the record set
* by Pam Teeguarden from 1967-84.
. Andre Agassi the No. 4 men’s
seed, wot his fiist match ever a the
Open with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-3, 6-3 vic-
— tray over a fellow American, Philip
Johnson.

Agassi, who has won 19 straight
Grand Prix matches and six tides
this year, is being touted as the next
great Amaican player. But the 18-
year-old from Las Vegas said he
was not feeling any pressure.

T play tennis for myself, not to
fulfill other people’s expectations,”
said Agassi who lost in the first
round here the past two years.

Five-time champion Jimmy
Connors started his 19th U.S. Open
with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory over
Agustrn Moreno of Mexico.

Other men’s seeds advancing to
the second round were No. 7 Yan-
nick Noah and No. 13 Jonas Svens-
son.

In women’s play, ninth-seeded
Lori McNeil No. 12 Barbara Pot-
ter and No. 15 Sylvia Hanilca won
their opening matches.

If Graf wins the Open, she will
become the first player since Mar-
garet Court in 1970 to win the Aus-
tralian, French, Wimbledon and
U.S. chaxnpkniships in the same
year. But that wasn't the No. 1

Unlike Graf, Agassi got a good
workout in his opening match.

Johnson, who played on two
NCAA drampionship teams at the
University of Georgia, pushed
Agassi to the limit in the first set
and made him battle for points
throughout the match.

“It’s tough to play against a guy

ART BUCHWALD

The TV Zapper Is King

W ASHINGTON — The net- “Any particular reason?”
works are terriblv worried asked.

VV works are terribly worried
about losing their audiences these
days. Between the writers* strike,
cable television. VCR machines
and independent programming, the
American people ore having an en-
tertainment orgy and driving the
television moguls up the wall.

Probably what affects TV more
than anything else is the remote-
control clicker
which has put all
programming
decisions into
the hands of the ■'*

viewer.

Before its ar-
rival most peo-
ple. particularly
men. were too sgg
lazy to get out of
ihcir chairs or „ , ..

beds to alter the Bucnwald

channel. Sometimes the set stayed
on the same station for weeks. But
this has all changed since some ge-
nius invented the remote-control
device which makes it possible for
every man. woman and child in this
country to zap any show off the air.
□

The greatest remote artist 1 know
is Frederick Steinmetz. who has
tuned out more commercials and
situation comedies than any zapper
within the continental United
Slates.

His living room wall is covered
with 500 different TV remote-con-
trol models which were handcraft-
ed by a Japanese Sony dealer in
Osaka. New Jersey.

Fred showed me the calluses he
has developed over the years from
clicking programs.

How does he operate?

For starters, he practices on the
morning shows.

"I usually begin by zapping Bry-
ant Gumbel and Jane Pauley off
Lhe face of the earth.*'

Prince Live on Europe TV

Tkt • Associated Press

ROME — Prince's “Lovesexy*
concert in Dortmund SepL 9 will
be televised live throughout Europe
and in many other countries, possi-
bly including the Soviet Union, or-
ganizers announced. The concert
will also be shown in South Korea.

It will not be broadcast in the Unit-
ed States. Canada. Japan and Aus-
tralia because Prince will be tour-
ing those countries in the next six
months.

“Any particular reason?” 1
asked.

He tried to reassure me. “It's
nothing personal — it's just that 1
don't like Willard Scott wishing
100-year-old people ‘Happy Birth-
day.’ When I tune out the Today*
show, I uy to catch 30 seconds of
'Good Morning America.’ and
from there it’s just on easy click to
the *CBS Morning Show.' ”

□

“Do you watch the 'Morning
Show* for very long?"

“That would be a waste," he re-
sponded. “I switch it ofT as soon as
the commercials come on. By then
my fingers are limbered up, and I
can stan working on the cable sta-
tions. They really are the pits in the
morning, although sometimes I get
lucky and hit an old ‘I Love Lucy'
or ‘Barney Miller' segment."

"When you find something like
that, do you stay with it?"

“Why would I want to stick with
one show when I have 26 channels
to choose from? The reason I be-
came a zapper in the first place was
because no matter what program I
had on. I was always sure that the
grass was greener on the next chan-
nel. Once you start clicking, you
have to keep doing it to assure
yourself that you are not missing
any thing. Let me give you an exam-
ple: It's 6:30 P.M„ so I tune into
Dan Rather and the evening news.
Okay, so he starts miking about
Burma. Good night, Dan. Now I
click over to Brokaw. He's doing an
exclusive interview with Lloyd
Benisen. I say to Brokaw, Tm
sending you to the ozone.’ "

□

“So that leaves Jennings on .ABC
as your only hope.”

“An: you kidding? I have CNN,
C-Span and ESPN for my news."

"ESPN is not news," I said. “It’s
all sports."

“Correct. And if they’re showing
Oklahoma playing a 1967 football
game against Texas. I'm going to
zap Jennings even if he makes me
‘Person of the Week.* What you
have to understand is that we zap-
pers are in charge of programming
now, and they can no longer make
us watch anything we don't want
to."

“You play tough. Steinmetz."
“Somebody has to make the life-
and-death decisions in TV pro-
gramming and T d rather it be me
than Lariy Tisch."

Dr. Billy Taylor:
Mixing Creativity
With Reliability

!1?

By Mike Zwerin

International Herald Tribune

EW YORK — Dr. Billy Taylor is so

running through the Hist set in his mind on
the way to the gig, so that by the lime he
gpt there it was psychologically already the
second seL

It’s hard to imagine bow such commuta-
tional irompe I’areilU would provide
enough keyboard and improvisations]
chops to compensate for all the time spent
on myriad related endeavors. Somehow,
though, he manage not to sbon-change
any of them and appears anything but
frantic about getting everything done. To
call him “multi-talented” would be an un-
derstatement, to describe his career as
“prestigious" inadequate. “Unique" might
do.

He has visited the Soviet Union both as a
pianist and as one of Eve American mem-
bers of an international co mmissio n of
composers and educators formed by the
American Council of Learned Societies to-
gether with the Union of Soviet Compos-
ers. He has been consultant to the Ameri-
can delegation to UNESCO, produced
concerts for IBM. served on the board of
directors of the Rockefeller Foundation
and ASCAP, and was vice president of the
National Association of Recording Arts
and Sciences.

Founder and president of Jazzmobile, an
outreach organization that brings jazz to
disadvantaged neighborhoods, he has been
awarded the keys to six major North Amer-
ican cities. More than any single musician,
he helped open the electronic media to
what little jazz they now emit — his Na-
tional Public Radio programs “Taylor
Made Kano" and “Jazz Alive" won Pea-
body Awards, and he won an Emmy for an
appearance on CBS's “Sunday Morning."
He has written articles for the Saturday
Review of Literature and Esquire and a
book about the history of jazz piano. Us
voice has spoken in commercials for such
products as Budweiser beer and McDon-
ald’s. His discography lists 35 albums un-
der his own name. While accompanying
Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis,
Slim Gaillard and just about everyone who
ever played in the club described as “The
Jazz Corner of the World," be established
the record for the longest continuous nm at
Birdland.

That is a mere digest of Taylor's biogra-
phy. One question is whether it can be
called eclectic or schizophrenic, if it is true.

you must be an outlaw, there are other
questions to be posed. “Outlaw" does not
imply breaking any legal or ethical laws.
But jazz is. or should be, protest muse on
some level. All great improvisers break
musical laws. The necessary balance of
individualism and group interaction is a
model for an idealistic social system rarely
if ever achieved on a political level. How
can you protest any facet of the status quo
when you contribute to and are beholden
to it? These are questions raised with re-
gard to BQJy Taylor, and be raises them
himself.

“1 used to fed funny about being so
closely related to the establishment," he
says. “I was on many committees for many
years, 1 banged .on a lot of tables and
people patted me on the head and I got
nowhere. In 1958, 1 was invited by the
Musical Educators National Conference to
speak on the advisability of using jazz in an
educational context I had previously at-
tended a seminar in Yale during which we
had designed an entire curriculum. I told
them they were losing students and risked
losing their own jobs because they would
not teach American classical music. They
said, Don’t call us, well call yon.’ This was
part of the negativity I took into the Na-
tional Council for the Arts.”

Taylor was the second jazz musician,
after Duke Ellington, to be appointed to
the National Council, which decides which
an gets how much subsidy money in the
United States. He had defended the diesis
“Jazz as America's Classical Music” for his
doctorate, he fell strongly about it, he knew
he was one of the few who knew the music
from the inside and who could also present
a lucid case: “During the six years in the
*703 that 1 served on the National Council,
the subsidies allotted to jazz increased
from S50.000 a year to over SI million. I
realized 1 could after all make a differ-
ence.”

Born in 1921 in Greenville, North Caro-
lina, he was a sociology major at Virginia
State College before coming to New York,
where he immediately attracted the atten-
tion of Art Tatum, Teddy Wilson, Billy
Kyle and other of “my models” who helped
him get work in such dubs as Cafe Society,
Hickory House and London House. He

was a fluid and imagina tive two-handed
piano player, he had a radiant smile, and
showing up on time and sober made him
swing none the less.

Taylor was free-lancing around New
York when be got a long distance call from
the pianist AJ Haig, who said he was sup-
posed to open with Charlie Parker and
Strings at Birdland that night but would be
late. “Can you cover for me?" he asked.
Haig was not specific about whether he
meant just the rehearsal. To be sure, Taylor
stuck around and when Haig was still not
there he played the opening night as weH
The following night he stayed home until
the manager called to say Haig was still
nowhere to be found. Taylor jumped into a
taxi and ended up playing the rest of the
week Two weeks latex. Bud Powell did not
appear for an engagement and the mana ger
called Taylor to fill in a giin The manager
said he couldn't be bothered with people
who didn’t show up, so Taylor became
house pianist for close to two years.

Taylor has a soothing voice, ls a dear
en initiator and knows about the impor-
tance of combining honesty with commu-
nication. He started a 12-year run as host
of a jazz program on the New York radio
station WNEW, playing, for example, bal-
lads by John Coltrane. When National
Public Radio polled its member stations to
ask what they could do from Washington
that could not be done locally, one com-
mon response was “produce a jazz pro-
gram," and Taylor was just the man for the
job. His weekly 90-minute show called
“Jazz Alive" recorded musi cians in con-
cert.

from their recordings. The spirit can be
much more exciting. A lot of guys told me
bow much that exposure meant in terms of
future jobs.”

He has participated in three State De-
partment tours, been guest artist at the
White House three times and has been
appointed artist in residence by Notre
Dame and other universities. He has six
honorary university degrees. The conduc-
tor Maurice AbravancL a fellow member of
the National Council of the Arts, commis-
sioned Taylor to write a piece for his Utah
Symphony Orchestra (the program read
“Mahler, Ban ok. Taylor"! and this year
Taylor received a $20,000 “Jazz Master”
award from the same council he once
served on.

Spending so much time dose to big mon-
ey, some of it is bound to rub off. Officials
who control the culture business are more
likely to relate to someone with a doctorate
who shows up on time. A reliable creator,
the best of both worlds. There are other
examples of creative people who know how
to play the power game — though not
always with so much diversity. More power
to them. But there are also unworthy peo-
ple who know how to play this game — and
many worthies who lose out because they
cannot play jL

In the case at hand, I suppose it comes
down to this — we should be grateful that
the image and worldly interests of our
music are being so well defended by some-
one who was once house pianist at Bird-
land.

Last Emperor's Widow

The widow of PuYl, China's last

She disliked some of the scenes of

their husbands’ families, put them-
selves first at the service of their
